Filler Correction
in Nantucket, MA
What is Filler Correction?
Filler Correction Overview
Preparation & Consultation
-
Initial Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your previous filler treatment and discuss your desired outcome. Our provider will examine the area, assess the type of filler (if known), and understand your specific concerns.
-
Treatment Plan Discussion
Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be developed. This plan outlines the recommended approach, whether it involves dissolving existing filler, adding new filler for refinement, or a combination of techniques. We prioritize clear communication and ensure all your questions are answered.
-
Pre-Procedure Guidance
You will receive specific instructions to prepare for your filler correction appointment. This may include avoiding certain medications or supplements that can increase bruising, ensuring you are well-hydrated, and having a clear understanding of the procedure.
During Your Correction Procedure
-
Targeted Assessment
Upon your arrival, the treatment area will be re-evaluated to confirm the strategy. We ensure precise identification of the areas requiring adjustment or reversal to achieve optimal results.
-
Area Cleansing & Numbing
The skin in the treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed to prevent infection. A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to enhance your comfort during the injections.
-
Precision Injections
Using fine needles, our provider will administer the corrective solution, often hyaluronidase, directly into the areas of concern. This enzyme works to break down hyaluronic acid fillers. For other corrections, new filler may be strategically placed.
-
Gentle Massage & Evaluation
After the injections, the treated area may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the dissolving agent or new filler. Your provider will then assess the immediate results and provide post-procedure care instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does filler correction work?
For hyaluronic acid fillers, the dissolving enzyme hyaluronidase often starts working within minutes, with noticeable reduction within a few hours. Full effects are usually apparent within 24-48 hours, though some residual swelling might obscure the final result for a few days.
Is filler correction painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during filler correction, similar to initial filler injections. A topical numbing cream is often applied, and the corrective solution may contain lidocaine to minimize any pain during the procedure.
Can all types of fillers be corrected?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the easiest to correct or dissolve using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Non-HA fillers, like Sculptra or Radiesse, cannot be dissolved in the same way and may require different approaches for correction.
What if I just want to reduce the effect, not completely remove it?
Yes, our providers can often tailor the treatment to achieve a reduction rather than a complete removal. By carefully injecting smaller amounts of the dissolving enzyme, we can subtly refine and diminish the filler’s effect to your desired level.
How many sessions are needed for correction?
Many filler corrections for HA fillers can be achieved in a single session. However, in some complex cases or to achieve a very gradual adjustment, multiple sessions might be recommended to ensure the best possible outcome.
