I had also done masseter botox 8 months prior and got 0,3 ml filler in my jawline to "lift up" the skin. I dissolved it and its now been 4 months since I dissolved. Does this heal naturally? What can I do?
I just got a facial ultrasound and the results are a massive wake-up call for anyone who thinks dissolving is a simple undo button.
Few months ago, I decided I wanted my old face back, so I dissolved the filler in my chin. I expected a reset. Instead, my face now feels off and my chin has a strange shape that isn't mine.
My ultrasound report shows that the process of disolving (and the material) caused a marked tissue reaction and a physical thickening of the planes in my chin.
• It’s not just leftover gel making my chin look different; it’s a marked alteration of the hypodermic tissue.
• My internal anatomy has been structurally modified. The report calls it a modification of the underlying histomorphological structures.
• Essentially, the inflammation and the thickening are now part of my face’s new architecture. My tissue fough the filler and the dissolving process, and it changed the shape of my face in the process.
2. The Integration Trap: Why I can't dissolve the rest
I asked my doctor to just clean up the rest of the HA in my face. The ultrasound revealed why that is a dangerous idea. In several areas, the filler is "No Detected," which the report explains as a perfect integration of the implant in the tissue.
• The filler is no longer in "pockets" or "blobs." It is woven into my own fibers and cells. It is indistinguishable from my natural anatomy.
• Because it’s so integrated, using more hyaluronidase is a huge risk.
• If we try to dissolve "integrated" filler, we risk dissolving my own healthy tissue because the enzyme can't tell the difference anymore.
3. Temporary is a lie
The ultrasound found filler in my nasolabial folds that was injected over 5 years ago. It’s still there, visible, and detected.
2. The "Fat Creation" Trap
My doctor explained something interesting. For HA to give volume, it uses cross-linking agents, molecules that join the acid together so it stays stable and doesn't dissolve immediately. He told me that these molecules, and the way they interact with our tissue, can actually trigger the creation of more fat in the face. You aren't just adding temporary gel; you might be permanently increasing the fat volume in your face due to this reaction.
My advice? If you think you can just hit the reset button if you don't like your filler, think again. My hypodermis is now in an "altered state" with a modified structure. Once you start the cycle of filling and dissolving, you aren't just moving gel around—you are potentially changing your biological tissue structure forever
Has anyone else dealt with thickened tissue or permanent structural changes after dissolving? My doctor won't touch me with more enzymes now that he’s seen the marked reaction on the scan.
I'm 28. I noticed I have very dry skin on my body and it wrinkles when I move the skin och close the arm. And visible veins on the legs and arms. I dont know if it was like this before dissolving because I pay closer attention now, reading all these systemic horror stories. I'm very pale so idk if thats why you can see my veins easier. Should I be worried?
I am severely depressed, especially when looking at photos just from 4 months ago how gorgeous and young-looking I was. Then I had to go touch my face, botched it with filler and dissolve and I have aged 5 years, jowls, saggy skin. I cant look at myself anymore. I dont even want to meet my partner. I just want more filler to fix this issue and/or get plastic surgery or something.
Wondering if anyone has done literally DROPS, like maybe 3-5, at a time, once a month for however long it took to look better and didn’t end up with major aesthetic, health or systemic damage??
I really want to dissolve cheek filler from 2017 and 2018 that has migrated and made me look 10 years older and 30 lbs heavier but am TERRIFIED of dissolving. I also don’t know how much longer I want to put up with how I look deformed right now.
Side note: I also have MCAS and have heard filler itself can cause flares. My drs have said they’d prefer I don’t try to dissolve, but yes, it’s possible dissolving some of it will help my day to day health.

Hi everyone. I really need some help. I am so distraught about this that I'm having trouble eating or sleeping. So I recently had a baby and my weight loss is causing my face to need some lift. I was finishing up a treatment with soft dissolvable under eye filler and the injector proposed to add some to my nasolabial folds. I agreed. See first image. As you see I don't have any divots in my lip. This was after the first pass and you can see bruising.
Afterward I have noticed that I have a pocket on the left and I asked if we can dissolve some of the filler, but she didn't have dissolver on hand and so she was like, why don't we add a blob next to it to smooth out that pocket. I stupidly agreed. For some reason she added some to the other side where there wasn't even a problem. See image two. So it created a sausage, a line, a sausage.
Of course that looked terrible and I said this must go! I didn't have any deep creases on my lips and wtf is that. She conservatively injected in to the filler blobs/ sausages themselves and when it settled it looked like this! Pick 4. It still keeps shifting after two weeks. It's not as bad as pick 4, but it's not much better.
My theory is that there is still filler left since the lines are in the same place where the filler was creating them. Also there is still filler above since she put it close to the nose as well. I think the bulk above and the ghost filler is creating these structures. Not sure if there was much of my own HA gone or any. What do you guys think? Feel free to ask me any questions.
She is agreeing to dissolve it at no charge, but says she doesn't remember if there were notches or not and that weight loss could have caused this. 🙄gaslighting much. I didn't lose that much weight over the two months from first pic till now. Please help!
I got HA filler three years ago and now I have lumps on my cheek, just one side and the old filler will just not go away. It’s skin tone, but it’s soft and lumpy looking.
My doc has tried to dissolve it twice last year . It’s not going down now. I’m looking for a natural solution to get this thing to move on. Has anyone had any success all naturally?
This has given me BDD
Got fillers (in Asia) , they were uneven and bumpy (probably injected superficially or badly)
Dissolved part of it to smooth out the shape
Got more fillers. Because of it being on top of the remaining last fillers, some slight bump/unevenness remained
3 years after the unevenness and bumps seem bigger, lips feel tender/uncomfortable and swollen, the filler (?) is white-ish and on the inside of the mouth rather than lips itself

QUESTION :
* is it remaining filler that never dissolved/migrated and/or inflamed ? Or could it be due to hyaluronidase ? With its current state would you advice dissolving it ?
* I have two appointments, one in 3 days where it’s whatever if I have fillers and one in 6 days where it’s better if I don’t look like I have uneven filler.., do you think the swelling will be down enough in 48h if I dissolve ? (Either I go tomorrow or I wait till the first apt is done to be sure, then get it and have 3 days until the second one)
Hi everyone, I had 7ml of jawline filler done after winning it in a contest at a well-known clinic, but I didn’t like the result so I decided to dissolve it. I’ve had 3 hyaluronidase sessions and experienced some damage from it, and still wasn’t able to remove all of the filler.
Now it seems to be decreasing fairly quickly visually, and I appear to be returning to my baseline. For example, back in December (after my last session),with the help of ChatGPT we estimated visually the remaining filler at around 2–2.5 ml, while now in April it looks closer to about 1.2 ml.
My question is: since it’s decreasing quite fast, is it likely that I’ll return to my original state without needing additional sessions? I’m quite worried about doing more hyaluronidase because the last session caused some jowls and connective tissue damage.
i’ve always been super insecure about my small upper lip but have been way too scared or young to bite the filler bullet. if you’ve gotten filler then had it dissolved what’s your experience? did it pose any problems for you medically? and if it turns out i love it - is this process good to keep doing indefinitely? posted this in r/beauty and it was taken down.
especially facial damage?
were you overdosed?
where were you dissolved?
did you feel jaw tightness?
Hi everyone, I had hyaluronidase injections about two years ago, and I’m still dealing with issues since then. My skin is constantly very dry and seems to be wrinkling more than before. I’m also experiencing a lot of hair loss, and my scalp has developed psoriasis-like symptoms.
I would like to ask if anyone has had similar long-term reactions, and whether any treatments or interventions were effective.
