Our comprehensive Los Angeles plastic surgery and dermatology office specializes in the reversal of dermal fillers in patients who have complications including infection, migration, over-filling, asymmetry, and poor cosmetic results. Kare Plastic Surgery offers patients with options to remove hyaluronic acid facial fillers, including lip fillers, botched cheek fillers, and facial fillers with Biopolymers. Our leading plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery and has helped many patients reverse the unwanted swelling and edema from botched dermal fillers.
When we see patients with filler complications or problems, we begin by determining the type of filler. Most fillers are either composed of hyaluronic acid gel - which is reversible - or biopolymers, which are not reversible. The most common filler problems we see with hyaluronic acid fillers Juvederm, Restylane, and Voluma include filler migration, filler swelling, asymmetry or nodularity, and asymmetry. Our goal is to either remove the filler or reverse it with an enzyme known as Hyaluronidase.

Ultrasound-Guided Filler Removal in Los Angeles
Ultrasound-guided dermal filler reversal is an advanced, precision-based treatment designed to safely dissolve unwanted or misplaced hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Revanesse® Versa™. Using high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound, Dr. Karamanoukian can visualize the exact location, depth, and volume of filler beneath the skin in real time. We use ultrasound POCUS as a precision-tool for filler removal in our Beverly Hills and Santa Monica plastic surgery offices.
Kare Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Dermatology is a specialty cosmetic clinic in Santa Monica. Our office is directed by world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian, who has expertise in filler complications. Facial filler removal is a procedure used to reverse unwanted fillers in the face and body. Most patients who come in for this procedure are unhappy with excessive swelling and nodularity in their fillers.
During the procedure, an injection of hyaluronidase enzyme is used to reverse the bulkiness of the fillers. This technique works well on dermal fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Volbella, and Versa.
