Reverse the Results of Poorly Injected Dermal Filler

If you’ve experienced poor results from a previous dermal filler treatment and are dissatisfied with the outcome, Medical Aesthetics 360 is here to help. Our medical experts can reverse the results of filler to restore your natural appearance.

Using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase, our qualified medical experts can undertake dermal filler reversal quickly. This procedure is nearly pain-free, thanks to advanced techniques and the use of local anaesthetic. We aim to help you regain confidence with professional dermal filler correction at our Sydney clinics.

Our qualified medical doctors are experts in reversing poorly injected dermal fillers, ensuring both safety and comfort throughout the process.

  1. During your session, after a thorough initial assessment, your skin will be cleansed and a numbing agent may be applied to reduce discomfort.
  2. The doctor will then administer an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the bonds between dermal filler molecules, effectively dissolving the unwanted filler.
  3. Post-treatment, we recommend waiting 1-2 weeks to allow your skin to settle before considering new dermal filler injections to achieve your desired look. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Poorly placed dermal filler can occur anywhere on the face or body, however it is can be especially noticeable in the lip region, leading to an undesirable “duck pout” effect.

Dermal filler migration and unsatisfactory results can occur for a number of reasons, including:

  • Poor injection technique
  • Too much filler injected without adequate time in between
  • The use of suboptimal viscosity of dermal filler which draws too much moisture to the area
  • Incorrect filler application technique resulting in filler spreading upwards

Whatever the reason for your unsatisfactory dermal filler results, rest assured that our experienced team is here to help you achieve beautiful cosmetic outcomes, so you can put your unfortunate experience behind you.

Dermal Filler Reversal: Frequently Asked Questions

Dermal filler correction involves the use of an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which works by breaking down the bonds between the filler molecules. Once these bonds are dissolved, the byproducts are naturally metabolised and safely removed by the body. This process helps to reverse the effects of poorly injected or migrated fillers, allowing for a return to the original appearance or the opportunity to reapply filler more effectively.

Following treatment it’s common to experience temporary swelling at the injection site, which can be noticeable for 2-3 days and typically resolves within two weeks. Other mild side effects may include redness, tenderness, or bruising. In rare cases, allergic reactions to hyaluronidase can occur, such as itching, rashes, or more significant swelling. If you have a history of allergies or concerns, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider beforehand to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

Dermal filler reversal is a relatively comfortable procedure, particularly if anaesthetic is utilised for comfort. It’s essential to have a qualified and experienced practitioner perform the procedure to ensure both safety and comfort. At Medical Aesthetics 360, we prioritise your well-being by using the appropriate doses of anaesthetic to minimise discomfort and make the experience as pain-free as possible, while ensuring safe and effective filler removal.

Filler reversal using hyalase typically begins working as soon as it is injected as the enzyme starts to break down the filler. Most patients notice a reduction in filler volume within 24-48 hours. However, the full effects can take up to 14 days to be visible, as the body processes and eliminates the dissolved filler. It’s important to give the treatment time to fully settle before considering additional procedures.

Following dermal filler reversal, it’s typically recommended to wait around 1-2 weeks before re-injecting the area with new filler. This allows time for any swelling to subside and ensures the enzyme has fully dissolved the previous filler. Your practitioner will assess the area during a follow-up consultation to ensure the skin has healed and is ready for new injections. This waiting period helps achieve the best possible results with the new treatment.

Our personalised approach ensures that we tailor each treatment plan to suit your individual needs. As a result, treatment pricing varies based on the specifics of your plan.

During your initial consultation, one of our experienced doctors will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customised treatment plan. This consultation will include a detailed breakdown of costs, timeframes, and what you can expect from the procedure. We prioritise transparency and personalised care to deliver the best possible outcomes for each patient.
