Do fillers have to be melted before re-treatment? | Vanny

Do old fillers need to be melted before getting a new one?

Vanny Plastic Surgery

We checked the materials and current symptoms of the previous filler, and summarized what to prepare before consulting on whether to maintain, dissolve, or withhold retreatment.

Even if the filler from the old one seems to be left, it doesn't necessarily have to be melted before applying a new one. After examining what material was used in which area and what the current shape and discomfort are, maintenance, dissolution, and retention are decided. 1. Write down what you want to change first Write down if the shape looks different, if the lump is palpable, or if there is pain or swelling. It is helpful to write down when and what changes you first felt. If you have a photo showing the treatment site, approximate date, product name, record, or date, please bring it with you. 2. If you don't know the product name, check the ingredients first Hyaluronic acid fillers can test dissolution using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Fillers from different materials can be difficult to remove in the same way. If you don't know about the product, request records from the previous hospital and tell us what you don't know during the consultation. It is difficult to determine the product or remaining amount based on photos alone. 3. Dissolution and retreatment are judged separately Vanny discloses Dr. Mira Lee's specialist qualifications in the Department of Family Medicine in an official medical staff introduction. When scheduling a consultation, check the scope of care with your healthcare provider. It is easy to compare if you first ask why dissolution is needed, whether it can be observed, and when to re-evaluate, and then check the costs of dissolution, retreatment, and reconstruction respectively. 4. FAQs Can I reduce the exact area I want? The extent of dissolution can be difficult to accurately predict. Swelling, bruising, and rarely an allergic reaction may occur. Check out the consultation if further evaluation is needed. What if I have severe pain or a change in skin color after the procedure? If you have severe pain that isn't usual, your skin turns white, gray, or blue, or changes in your vision suddenly, don't wait for your appointment, get emergency care right away. Before deciding whether to get a new one, review your previous treatment history and the one thing you're most concerned about right now. In the consultation, you can decide between what you want to check now and what you can watch for more.
