Complication Management and Corrective Interventions – Corrections & Dissolving

If you have concerns about the results of a previous cosmetic treatment and are considering correction or revision, you are not alone. At Aesthetic Medicine Sydney, we understand that it is common for individuals to seek professional assessment when outcomes do not align with expectations, cause discomfort, or require adjustment for safety or aesthetic reasons.

Our experienced team specialises in consulting with patients seeking to address results from previous treatments—whether performed at our clinic or elsewhere. We conduct thorough, compassionate assessments of your concerns, explain available corrective options with transparency, and design individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.

Your comfort, safety, and goals remain central to our approach at Aesthetic Medicine Sydney. With meticulous attention to detail, advanced technical expertise, and a focus on natural, balanced outcomes, we provide clear guidance and supportive care throughout the revision and correction process. If you are seeking professional advice or treatment planning to improve, adjust, or reverse a previous cosmetic procedure, our team is here to help you explore your options with expertise, empathy, and care.

Our Approach to Corrections

Correction and complication management at Aesthetic Medicine Sydney involves the use of hyaluronidase, a safe and effective enzyme specifically formulated to dissolve unwanted hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler products. Whether you're experiencing migration, asymmetry, overfilling, vascular compression, lumps, irregularities, or simply desire to return to your natural features, dissolving treatment allows for precise correction, adjustment, and restoration.

What We Can Address

  • Utilises a specialised enzyme to safely and efficiently dissolve hyaluronic acid-based filler materials

  • Restores natural contours by reversing overfilled areas, product migration, or asymmetrical placement

  • Addresses complications such as lumps, nodules, irregularities, or the "pillow face" appearance

  • Manages vascular compromise or impending complications requiring urgent filler removal

  • Refines previous results for a more natural, balanced, or harmonious appearance

  • Quick and minimally invasive procedure performed by our experienced, trained practitioners

Results are typically noticeable within 24–48 hours as the hyaluronic acid breaks down, with full dissolution generally occurring within one week. If desired, new filler can be strategically placed at our clinic after the treated area has fully settled and any swelling has resolved, usually within 2–4 weeks, allowing for a fresh start with optimal technique and placement.

Our experienced medical practitioners tailor all recommendations to your personal preferences, concerns, and clinical needs. During your consultation, we will thoroughly review your specific situation, assess the extent of correction required, outline potential considerations and risks, and explain the range of possible outcomes based on your individual evaluation.
