I had a patient who went to Korea for lip filler and it was placed in all the wrong places. Her whole lip was cobblestoned with lumps and bumps and she had no idea what was used or how much. I wasn’t even sure hyaluronidase would work on it.
Hyaluronidase is the enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid filler, and it is not always as simple as one and done.
→ It’s an enzyme my body already makes naturally, and it breaks down the cross-linking in HA filler so my body can absorb it and it goes away
→ The type of filler matters. Some are thin and watery, others are thick with a lot of cross-linking, and those take more product to dissolve
→ When I’m dissolving filler, I’m often not the one who placed it, so I don’t always know the brand, the amount, or exactly where it was injected
→ That’s why it’s so important to know what you’re having injected in the first place, in case you ever want it dissolved
