How can I dissolve Juvederm faster without Hyaluronidase?

Question

My cheeks are over filler and I want the juvederm to disolve faster. And I don't want to use Hyaluronidase as for it can leave your skin worst then before the filler.

William Numa, MD, FACS · Answer

Hyaluronidase is the only safe and effect option for dissolving hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. A small amount of hyaluronidase can go a long way to help soften the effects of your recent filler treatment. And if done correctly, it can leave a natural appearance to the face without negative side effects to the skin.  This procedure takes a skilled and experienced hand so be sure to seek treatment by an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon, or dermatologist.

Thank you for asking your question. Hyaluronidase is the only product known to dissolve dermal fillers quickly and safely. Over time the filler will dissipate without treatment. I hope you find this helpful.

The only way to make Juvederm dissolve faster is to use hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase is safe to use as the body will simply replace it's own hyaluronic acid (HA) in a matter of days. I have never seen someone have a long term side effect from the injection of hyaluronidase. About the only downside it has is that it usually dissolves ALL of the HA in the area where it is injected.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Dear Robin, Only time and hyaluronidase, which is protein enzyme that can dissolve Hyaluronic Acids (HAs) fillers like Juviderm, Restylane, Belotero and Voluma. I recommend that you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with this technique. You can have an examination of your cheeks, answer your questions and see if dissolving the Juviderm with hyaluronidase is your best option. Best wishes, Dr. Richard Swift

Hyaluronidase is the fastest way. You may also try massaging the area every day as areas of the face with more movement usually dissolve HA's much faster. Depending on the amount of over fill, you can also allow time to decrease this on its own.When you add Hyaluronidase into the mix, there is no guarantee that all of the material/product would be dissolve and how much quantity from each side. So you could potentially exchange a problem of some over fill to a problem of some asymmetry (which can not be also beneficial).Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
