ULTRASOUND GUIDED FILLER
DISSOLVING AND CORRECTION

What is filler dissolving

Filler dissolving is a process that involves injecting small quantities of a liquid substance, called Hyaluronidase (or ‘hyalase’) into areas of previous hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This process dissolves the filler and helps to reverse its cosmetic effects.

At Bayati Clinic, we maintain the highest standard of care and use the most comprehensive scanning technology with high resolution imaging capabilities. Dr Bayati is a specialist in image-guided procedures using ultrasound, and is one of a few UK experts in the use of ultrasound imaging to map previous filler placement and accurately target filler for reversal. This targeted approach avoids conventional “blind” dissolving and has the advantage of using only the minimum quantity of hyalase.

Hyaluronidase (also known as ‘Hyalase’) is an enzyme that naturally occurs in our skin. Its liquid form is an approved prescription-only substance frequently administered to boost the absorption or breakdown of hyaluronic acid filler that has been injected underneath the skin. It has an off license use in aesthetic medicine.

At Bayati Clinic, we administer the Hyaluronidase using ultrasound guidance in order to remove unwanted filler rapidly and accurately by targeting the specific areas of filler presence.

Hyaluronidase breaks down the bonds that keep hyaluronic acid filler molecules together. The filler will often immediately begin to soften and dissolve over a period of a few days up to two weeks.

Common reasons for reversal of filler

As patients frequently visit cosmetic clinics pursuing filler treatment for a variety of aesthetic concerns, complications may occur.

Although uncommon, fillers may cause a wide range of problems. Filler reversal is usually, but not always, effective in reversing these complications.

The most common complications in patients presenting to our clinic, requiring dissolving treatments include:

  • Puffiness / swelling from overfilling
  • Filler migration
  • Incorrect filler placement into facial muscles
  • Blue discolouration (Tyndall effect)
  • Contour irregularities / asymmetry
  • Infected filler (very rare)
  • Serious complications such skin necrosis (very rare)

Assess, plan reversal, and re-build

Every scar is unique in size, depth, thickness and location. Therefore, determining exact costs of Scar Lyft can be difficult without a consultation and clinical assessment. The fee is primarily determined by scar length and number of laser sessions required. The pricing below can be used for guidance.

See your own tissue anatomy...with real time ultrasound imaging

Be part of the process by following the real-time ultrasound scan of your facial anatomy, to become well educated about your treatments and visualise your cosmetic concern. Same day or follow-up ultrasound guided filler dissolving can be performed to reverse regions of unwanted filler.

“Ultrasound-guided cosmetic treatment merges my separate expertise in clinical radiology and aesthetic medicine… and offers a distinguished approach in treatment safety and evaluation”

ROLE OF MRI TECHNOLOGY

MRI scanning is an advanced imaging method for facial filler mapping. We create highly specialised 3D facial reconstructions using MRI to map pre-existing filler. This diagnostic approach is used in patients with more complicated filler history in order to provide a more comprehensive visual overview of filler location, prior to ultrasound-guided dissolving.
