For when cosmetic treatments have not gone to plan Reversing Previous Cosmetic Treatments in Sydney

Cosmetic treatments sometimes involve placing natural substances under the skin to enhance or restore volume. Occasionally, patients may wish to reverse or adjust the results of these treatments if they are unsatisfied or have experienced unexpected outcomes.

At Contour Clinics, cosmetic doctors offer treatments designed to adjust or reverse previous cosmetic enhancements. These procedures involve using naturally occurring enzymes to gently break down and remove the previously placed cosmetic product. The dissolved material is then safely processed by the body.

The effectiveness and ease of reversing cosmetic enhancements can vary, depending on several factors:

  • The quantity of cosmetic product previously used.

  • The density and structure of the cosmetic product (denser products usually require more enzyme treatment).

  • The extent or severity of the cosmetic concern.

During your consultation, a cosmetic doctor will carefully evaluate your situation, outline appropriate options for revision, and discuss the steps involved, including recommended waiting periods between treatments.

How much does dissolving/reversal of cosmetic work cost?

Due to Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we’re unable to publish pricing details online for cosmetic forehead wrinkle treatments. However, we understand that cost is an important factor in your decision-making process.

At Contour Clinics, treatment pricing varies depending on individual needs, the extent of treatment required, and personal aesthetic goals. For a tailored estimate and detailed information, please feel free to call us directly, send us a message, or book a consultation. Our friendly team is here to provide you with personalised guidance, transparency, and clear pricing information to support your treatment decisions.

Prices

All consultations with our cosmetic doctors are complimentary and obligation free.

Regulations in Australia prevent clinics like ours from publicly advertising the prices of certain treatments. You can read more about it in Contour Clinics pricing.

Correction of poorly placed previous cosmetic work can cause bruising and swelling. Use of LED light post treatment reduces swelling and irritation associated with dissolving treatments.

Ultrasound assessments are charged at $250 with an experienced cosmetic doctor. This is applied as a credit on your file to be used for any future cosmetic treatment.

All review appointments are complimentary.

Common Reasons to Reverse Cosmetic Work

The common reasons for reversal of dermal filler include:

  • Product migration 
    • Volumising products move to the path of least resistance. This is common in the lips where dermal filler can extend upwards outside of the lip border.
  • Lumps and bumps
    • This are common in the lips and tear trough (under eye) regions as soft skin is unforgiving in this area and lumps and bumps are easily visible
  • Tyndall effect
    • This is a blue hue visible when dermal filler is placed too close to the skin
  • Emergency reversal 
    • In the event a blood vessel is blocked during volumising treatments immediate reversal must be instituted. Review must be performed in the days post treatment to decide whether further reversal is required.

Understanding Migration Why Product Migration Occurs

Migration most commonly occurs in the lips but can occasionally be seen in any area where volumising treatments have been placed. It can often be spotted by a duck like appearance to the lips, where dermal filler has spread upwards towards the nose. There are several reasons this occurs:

  • Poor injection technique – most common
  • Excessive dermal filler placed at too short an interval
  • Use of the wrong dermal filler (usually one that is strongly hydrophilic) that draws excessive water to the area and distorts the border between the lip and the skin
  • Use of longer lasting fillers such as the no longer commonly used permanent fillers
  • Incorrect use of the Russian lips/Tenting technique causing channels in delicate internal lip anatomy, allowing filler to spread upwards
