Procedure

Your doctor examines the area and reviews your filler history and allergies. Some doctors perform a small skin test first. Your doctor then injects small amounts of the enzyme into the filler and massages the area. The session takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Recovery

Expect swelling, redness and tenderness for 1 to 3 days. Skip makeup on the area for 12 hours. Skip alcohol, heat and intense exercise for 24 hours. Your doctor reviews the result after 1 to 2 weeks.
