Considering dissolving existing filler during GLP-1 treatment? Start with the product record.

1. What material was injected?

Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid filler, not silicone or every filler material. Ask the clinician to identify yours. [1]

2. What could removal involve?

FDA warns removal may require injections, surgery or other interventions, each with risks. Some materials are difficult or impossible to remove. [2]

3. Which reactions should we discuss?

Swelling, bruising and allergic reactions can occur with dissolving injections. Discuss your allergy history. Breathing or swallowing difficulty after treatment requires emergency care. [1]

4. Could I need repeat visits?

Cleveland Clinic says larger amounts or nodules may need multiple sessions. Ask about reassessment rather than assuming one injection finishes treatment. [1]

5. Is this an urgent complication?

Unusual pain, vision changes or white, gray or blue skin during or shortly after filler injection require immediate medical attention, FDA advises. Do not wait for an elective removal appointment. [2]
