What You Gain from Filler Correction

Filler correction provides a safe way to reverse a bad outcome and restore balance without compromising your appearance.

Injectable fillers can be used for many different cosmetic treatments

What Are Botched Fillers?

“Botched fillers” refers to any filler injection that leads to unnatural, distorted, or unsafe results, whether due to poor technique, incorrect filler choice, or unsafe injection practices.

Common issues include:

  • Overfilled or distorted facial features
  • Lumps, bumps, or nodules
  • Filler migration away from the intended area
  • Bluish discoloration (Tyndall effect)
  • Puffiness or swelling
  • Vascular complications (blockage of blood vessels)
  • Permanent scarring or skin loss in severe cases

Why Are Botched Fillers So Common?

One word: training.

The aesthetic industry is booming, but unfortunately, most filler injectors today are not board-certified physicians. In many cases, they have attended a brief “weekend course” with no in-depth anatomical training or understanding of vascular safety.

Fillers are now being performed by:

  • Unsupervised nurses
  • Medical assistants
  • Estheticians
  • Non-medical injectors with little to no formal education.

This is a recipe for disaster, and we see the consequences every day.

How We Reverse Botched Fillers

The reversal process typically involves:

  • Comprehensive assessment of your facial anatomy and filler complications
  • Strategic use of hyaluronidase (for hyaluronic acid fillers) to safely dissolve misplaced filler
  • Gradual correction through staged treatments to avoid over-dissolving or creating contour irregularities
  • Optional re-injection after full correction to restore natural, beautiful contours

Areas of the Face Frequently Botched

Facial fillers can be botched virtually anywhere:

  • Lip Filler Correction — Migration, unnatural stiffness, “duck lips”
  • Under-Eye Filler (Tear Trough) Correction — Puffiness, blue discoloration, swelling
  • Liquid Rhinoplasty Reversal — Bumps, asymmetry, dangerous vascular risk
  • Cheeks — Overfilling, pillow face, heaviness
  • Jawline — Harsh angles, masculinization
  • Chin — Lumps or irregular projection
  • Nasolabial folds — Bulky or exaggerated folds
  • Temples and forehead — Vascular risks, filler migration

Safety First: Correcting Fillers Is a Medical Procedure

Filler correction must be performed by skilled physicians due to the complexity and risks involved.

Attempting to “fix” fillers through further injections by an untrained injector often makes the problem worse. Filler reversal is a medical procedure requiring:

  • Deep anatomical knowledge
  • Vascular safety expertise
  • Advanced injection skill

At The Naderi Center, only board-certified physicians perform this work.

The Systemic Gaps in Filler Education

Most aesthetic injector training today is focused on how to inject, not how to manage complications. Few programs teach:

  • How to safely reverse filler
  • How to manage vascular occlusion
  • How to avoid migration or Tyndall effect
  • How to choose the proper filler for each facial area

This leaves many injectors unprepared to handle complications, and patients suffer the consequences.

Why You Should Avoid Further “Quick Fixes”

Some injectors will attempt to simply add more filler on top of a bad result, or use the wrong enzyme to dissolve the wrong filler.

This can lead to:

  • Increased migration
  • Lumps and nodules
  • Irregular skin texture
  • Worsened vascular complications

Trust your correction to experienced experts.

Reverse Botched Fillers FAQ

Properly placed tear trough filler typically lasts 1–2 years. Improperly placed filler can last longer and cause visible lumps, swelling, or Tyndall effect. We specialize in correcting these issues.

Hyaluronidase dissolves HA fillers right away. The full effects show in two days (48 hours). 

The only safe way is through hyaluronidase (for HA fillers), performed by an expert physician. Massage may assist after treatment.

Yes. But this can take months to years. If you want immediate correction, enzyme injection is the safest option.

Hyaluronidase is the gold standard. We often correct migrated lip filler or unnatural appearance with staged enzyme injections.

We use hyaluronidase to safely dissolve misplaced HA filler under the eyes. 1–2 sessions often restore a natural appearance. Complex cases may need additional treatments.
