Ultrasound-Guided Filler Dissolving

Injectable fillers have revolutionized aesthetic medicine, but not every filler experience delivers the desired outcome. Whether it’s overfilling, migration, asymmetry, or simply a change in aesthetic goals, filler correction may become necessary. At Injection Artistry in Newport Beach, Injection Artistry’s clinical team offers advanced, ultrasound-guided filler dissolving to ensure precision, safety, and optimal results.

Why Use Ultrasound for Filler Dissolving?

Traditional filler dissolving procedures rely on tactile feedback and patient input. However, ultrasound imaging allows the provider to visualize exactly where the filler is located, even when placed deep in the tissue or near sensitive anatomical structures. This ensures that the hyaluronidase enzyme is delivered with accuracy, minimizing risks and maximizing the dissolving effect.

Common Reasons for Filler Dissolving:
  • Overfilled lips or cheeks
  • Migration of filler to unintended areas (especially lips or tear troughs)
  • Lumps, nodules, or uneven texture
  • Poor aesthetic outcome from another provider
  • Medical complications like vascular occlusion (urgent correction)

Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided Dissolving

  • Enhanced safety near arteries, veins, or nerves
  • Precise targeting of problematic filler areas
  • Fewer injections needed due to targeted placement
  • Better outcomes and minimal tissue trauma
  • Immediate feedback during the procedure

What is Hyaluronidase?

 Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It works quickly and is highly effective when used correctly. Our expert injectors at Injection Artistry use only high-quality compounds and always perform a patch test for patients with a history of allergic reactions.
