What is the process to get facial fillers removed?

Speaking to indianexpress.com, Dr B R N Padmini, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, CARE Hospitals, Hi-Tec City, Hyderabad said, “Facial fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment that involve injecting substances such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid into the skin to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, or enhance facial features. However, sometimes people may experience complications or changes in their appearance that prompt them to seek filler removal.”

Explaining the process of filler removal, she added, “The process of removing fillers involves the use of an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler. But this reversal injection works for fillers containing hyaluronic acid only. That’s why it is very important to have a documented note or prescription about the type of filler before proceeding with reversal injection”.

The expert added that usually, a reversal injection is indicated if one does not like the appearance after filler injection or in case of a minor complication. “The enzyme is injected into the treated area calibrated according to the units of filler injection and the filler gradually dissolves over a period of a few hours. The procedure can be performed by a trained medical professional, such as a plastic surgeon, or a dermatologist”.

Is the procedure painful/advisable?

While the procedure itself is generally well-tolerated, there may be minimal discomfort or swelling following the treatment. “It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine whether filler removal is necessary for the individual case. The procedure may not be advisable in some situations, such as if the filler has been in place for a long time or has caused significant changes in the skin’s texture or appearance,” concluded Dr Padmini.
