Filler Removal

We all want to look better, but sometimes injectors can make mistakes. This can lead to filler migration, where the filler moves to parts of the face that were not intended for treatment. So, what can you do? PURE Medical Aesthetics in Stamford is here to help you remove filler that has migrated. We can dissolve filler that has altered your appearance in undesirable ways. Afterward, we can reinject new filler to leave you looking and feeling brand new. And as always, it’s free to dissolve filler injected by us.

So, what is filler migration?

Filler migration can happen when too much material is injected, when it’s injected incorrectly, when the wrong filler is used for the wrong area, or when it’s injected into the wrong place. This causes the filler to sit unstably in the treatment area, and over time it can migrate to other parts of the skin around the treated area, most often towards the nose with lip fillers. This can cause bumpiness or fullness in areas other than the intended treatment site. Filler migration can appear weeks to months after treatment.

How do we remove fillers?

We use an enzyme called Hyaluronidase (brand name Hylenex). Fillers that add volume are made of hyaluronic acid, and the enzyme Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid in the skin. By injecting Hyaluronidase into the affected areas, we can dissolve the old filler that has migrated.
