Dermal Fillers Gone Wrong: How to Avoid or Reverse Bad Fillers

Jan 05, 2024
Many people turn to dermal fillers to enhance facial features, boost loss facial volume, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles often seen in aging skin. While dermal fillers have a very high success rate, poor dermal filler results can occur. Starting with an experienced injector and knowing the type of filler you are choosing can help you avoid bad fillers and, if necessary, how to reverse your dermal fillers.

Start with an Experienced Injector
While dermal fillers are considered minimally-invasive, experience and technique still make all the difference. Understanding facial anatomy and how the fillers will enhance your appearance is an art form that good injectors offer. In order to avoid bad dermal fillers, you want to find an experienced injector that can show you results through before and after photos.

Signs of Fillers Gone Wrong
While too little or too much filler can give you an unwanted appearance, there are other examples of fillers gone wrong. Some common signs include:
  • Asymmetry
  • Bumps of lumps in the area of injection
  • Excessive redness or bruising
  • Swelling and pain
  • Itchiness
  • Bleeding and scarring
Serious complications with dermal fillers are rare, but can include respiratory distress, abscesses, and facial disfigurement, especially with inexperienced injectors.

Know the Type of Dermal Filler Used
When it comes to dermal fillers and poor results, the type of filler you have determines just how long-term you have to live with the results. The majority of dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body. Hyaluronic acid can also be dissolved by an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This means that an injection of hyaluronidase can dissolve the dermal filler and restore your original appearance. Other dermal fillers available are made with calcium hydroxyapatite, PMMA, PLLA, or silicone, breaking down the filler is a little more difficult and can require surgical removal.

If you are considering dermal fillers and want to avoid poor results, the team of injectors at Alora offer years of experience and believe that dermal filler treatment is a unique artform that helps enhance your natural beauty. To learn more, schedule a consultation today at (541) 203-2653.
