Filler Corrections and Dissolving: Arden-Arcade Patient Guide

Not every filler issue requires full dissolution. Many concerns can be addressed by adding a small amount of filler to correct asymmetry or smooth irregularities. Your injector will evaluate whether correction or dissolution is the best approach. Minor asymmetry: Usually corrected by adding a small touch-up to the less-full side. Mild lumps: May resolve on their own within 2 weeks. Massage can help. Overfilling: Partial or full dissolution may be recommended. Migration: Dissolution followed by re-injection with better technique. At A Touch Above MedSpa, the priority is achieving results you are happy with, whether that means adjusting or dissolving.

If dissolution is the right approach, the procedure is quick and straightforward. Hyaluronidase is injected into the treatment area, dissolving the HA filler within 24–48 hours. The area may appear swollen immediately after the injection — this is the enzyme at work, not additional filler. Swelling typically resolves within a few hours. For Arden-Arcade residents, concierge mobile services make it convenient to have dissolution performed without traveling to Stockton. Contact our office to discuss mobile availability for correction appointments.

The best way to avoid needing corrections is to choose an experienced injector from the start. Key factors that prevent issues include: Conservative initial treatment — starting with less product and adding more at follow-up. Proper product selection — using the right filler type for each treatment area. Thorough consultation — ensuring clear communication about goals and expectations. Experienced technique — precise placement that minimizes risks of lumps, migration, and overcorrection. At A Touch Above MedSpa, our conservative, patient-centered approach means corrections are rarely needed. When they are, we address them promptly and at no additional charge for simple touch-ups.
