Correction of Botched Filler Injections in Long Island

Restore Confidence With Expert Filler Reversal Treatments

Correction of botched filler injections in Garden City is designed for patients who received unsatisfactory, uneven, or overfilled results from previous filler treatments. It treats problems like lumps, puffiness, filler migration, or discoloration caused by improper injection technique or unqualified injectors. Common issues include Tyndall effect, excessive swelling, and asymmetry in the lips, cheeks, or under-eye area.

At New York Cosmetic Skin & Laser Surgery Center, we use advanced agents such as hyaluronidase for dissolving hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, sodium thiosulfate for Radiesse, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or cortisone for Sculptra or silicone correction. Each case begins with a thorough consultation to identify the filler type and select the safest dissolving solution.

Treatment is quick, precise, and performed under local anesthesia or topical numbing. Most patients experience visible improvement within 24–48 hours and complete resolution within one to two weeks, depending on the filler used and the extent of the original injection error.

Correction of Botched Filler Injections Before and After

* Results May Vary.

How Long Does Correction of Botched Filler Injections Last?

Results from correction of botched filler injections are noticeable quickly and continue improving over time. Hyaluronidase typically begins to dissolve filler within hours, with full resolution seen within one to two weeks. Radiesse and Sculptra corrections may require two sessions spaced several weeks apart for complete improvement.

Once filler has been properly dissolved, the skin and underlying tissue gradually return to their natural contour. This allows for safe reinjection, if desired, to achieve balanced and symmetrical enhancement.

Most patients in Garden City notice restored smoothness, reduced puffiness, and improved tone within days. With Dr. Rokhsar’s expertise, results appear natural and refined—never hollow or uneven—providing long-term satisfaction and renewed confidence.

Correction of Botched Filler Injections Downtime or Side Effects

After filler correction, downtime is minimal. Patients may notice mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites, which typically subsides within two to five days. Light tenderness or lumpiness can persist briefly, especially in Radiesse or silicone correction cases.

There is no restriction on normal activities, though it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. We recommend refraining from makeup application for the first day and gently massaging the treated area if instructed.

Adverse reactions are rare. Allergic sensitivity to hyaluronidase occurs in a very small percentage of patients and is screened for during consultation. The procedure’s safety record remains excellent when performed under Dr. Rokhsar’s supervision in our accredited facility.

Long Island Correction of Botched Filler Injections FAQs

How quickly will I see improvement after filler correction?

Most patients begin to see improvement within 24 to 48 hours after hyaluronidase injections, with final results visible within one to two weeks. Radiesse and Sculptra corrections may take multiple sessions for optimal outcome.

Can filler be re-injected after it’s dissolved?

Yes. Once the old filler has fully broken down and tissues have normalized, new filler can safely be injected—usually after two weeks. Dr. Rokhsar frequently performs re-filling for balanced, natural enhancement.

Is filler correction painful?

The treatment is comfortable. Topical numbing or local anesthesia is applied before injection, and most patients report only mild pressure or warmth. Ice packs are used afterward to reduce any temporary tenderness.

What if I had filler done overseas or by a non-medical injector?

Dr. Rokhsar routinely corrects complications from non-certified injectors or overseas treatments. A consultation includes a safety evaluation and possible ultrasound imaging to identify filler type and placement.

Can the procedure fix under-eye swelling or Tyndall effect?

Yes. Hyaluronidase effectively reverses under-eye puffiness, bluish tint, and uneven texture caused by misplaced filler. Dr. Rokhsar’s precision technique prevents hollowness and restores a smooth, refreshed appearance.
