Dissolving Filler Bumps: How to Achieve Smooth, Natural, and Safe Results
Under-eye filler injections can be particularly risky, so extra caution is necessary. Choosing a qualified and experienced physician is crucial for achieving the best outcome. One common issue with under-eye fillers is the formation of lumps or unevenness, which can cause concern for many patients. In this article, our doctor will explain the causes of this problem and offer solutions to ensure that your next under-eye filler treatment results in a smooth, natural, and safe outcome.
Filler Dissolving Program
What is Filler Dissolving?
Filler dissolving refers to the injection of Hyaluronidase enzyme (Hyaluronidase: HYAL) to break down the filler material that has been injected under the skin. The Hyaluronidase enzyme specifically works to dissolve genuine hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Causes of Filler Lumps
- Physician’s Expertise and Experience
If the physician chooses an incorrect layer of skin for injection, causing the filler to be placed too superficially, it may result in visible lumps. - Type of Filler
It is important to select a filler that is appropriate for the treatment area, as fillers come with varying molecular densities. Additionally, the correct volume should be used for optimal results. - Counterfeit Fillers
Always ensure that the product used is of high quality and approved by the FDA. Using counterfeit fillers can lead to lumps, and they cannot naturally dissolve over time. Furthermore, this may cause other complications such as sagging, swelling, bruising, and even infections.
Characteristics of Filler Lumps
It is common to experience mild swelling after filler injections, which typically resolves within one week. While the swelling may not be immediately noticeable, over time, lumps may become more pronounced, appearing as visible, raised areas on the skin. These lumps may also become more evident when making facial expressions or palpating the area. If such lumps are detected, it indicates an abnormality, and it is important to consult with a physician for corrective treatment.
How Filler Dissolving Can Address This Issue at Doctor Tony Clinic
At Doctor Tony Clinic, the physician will assess the extent of the lumps. In some cases, this may be referred to as a “Tyndall effect,” which occurs when the filler is injected too superficially, causing a bluish-green appearance due to light reflection.
If lumps are identified, the physician may recommend dissolving the filler using Hyaluronidase enzyme. After a period of one week, the area can be re-treated with fresh filler to achieve a smooth, natural result.
For those experiencing lumps after under-eye filler injections, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Doctor Tony Clinic. Our clinic specializes in treating such cases and offers filler dissolving services for clients who wish to re-inject filler at a later date.
