WHAT IS ULTRASOUND-GUIDED DISSOLVING FOR NODULES AND LUMPS?

Filler nodules and lumps can happen from migrated filler, incorrect placement, deep pockets of old product, or delayed inflammatory responses. The challenge is that not all bumps are filler — some are scar tissue, trapped edema, or granulomas.

At plump medical spa, Dr. Amir uses Butterfly iQ3, an AI-enhanced high-frequency ultrasound device, to see exactly what’s under the skin before treating it. With ultrasound guidance, he can identify:

• Whether the bump is actually filler

• The depth and size of the filler pocket

• Whether the lump is scar tissue or fibrosis

• If it’s a true nodule or a localized reaction

• The safest path to remove or treat it

This means no guesswork. No unnecessary dissolving. No surprises.

Patients from Orange County, Irvine, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Tustin, and Anaheim come specifically for complicated filler corrections and second opinions.

WHY ULTRASOUND IS CRITICAL FOR BUMPS AND NODULES

Blind dissolving can make things worse.
Ultrasound solves this because it allows Dr. Amir to:

• Visualize the filler pocket directly

• Avoid dissolving supportive tissue

• Target only the exact lump or nodule

• Use the least amount of hyaluronidase necessary

• Determine whether you even need dissolving at all

This is especially important when patients were told “that bump is just swelling” or “it’ll go away,” but months later, it hasn’t.

WHAT ULTRASOUND-GUIDED DISSOLVING CAN FIX

• Hard nodules

From dense filler or deep injection into the wrong plane.

• Soft bumps or ridges

Often seen in lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and under eyes.

• Post-inflammatory nodules

Delayed reactions from older filler.

• Tyndall effect lumps

Blue-ish bumps from superficial under eye filler.

• Granuloma-like reactions

Ultrasound helps determine if dissolving is appropriate or if another treatment is needed.

• Filler migration lumps

Small, firm beads of product that move into neighboring tissue.

• Old filler residues

Years-old pockets that never fully integrated or dissolved naturally.

HOW BUTTERFLY iQ3 HELPS ID AND FIX LUMPS

The Butterfly iQ3 ultrasound device gives Dr. Amir an unmatched view into soft tissue. Using its AI-enhanced image quality and high-frequency probe, he can:

• See the exact size of a nodule

• Distinguish filler from fibrosis

• Determine if the nodule is vascular-adjacent

• Map out the safest dissolving points

• Watch the dissolver take effect in real time

• Confirm that the lump has broken down

This turns a complication into a controlled, precise medical correction.

THE PLUMP MEDICAL SPA APPROACH

Every correction is:

• Doctor-only

• Ultrasound-guided

• Conservative

• Customized to the tissue

• Protective of your natural structure

Dr. Amir’s philosophy is simple:
Remove only what needs to be removed, preserve everything else.

This is why patients travel from all over Orange County and LA for second opinions and complication management.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR NODULE OR LUMP DISSOLVE

Step 1: Comprehensive evaluation
History, prior injectors, product types, and timeline.

Step 2: Butterfly iQ3 ultrasound scan
Dr. Amir identifies whether your bump is filler, fibrosis, edema, or something else.

Step 3: Targeted dissolving
Small, precise injections of hyaluronidase placed only where filler is confirmed.

Step 4: Re-scan confirmation
Ultrasound may be used immediately after to visualize breakdown.

Step 5: Follow up and corrective planning
If needed, the area can be refilled — strategically — after healing.

FAQ – FILLER NODULES & LUMPS

1. How do I know if my bump is really filler?
Ultrasound is the only reliable way to confirm it.

2. Do all nodules need dissolving?
No. If it’s fibrosis or tissue swelling, dissolving won’t help and may worsen the area.

3. Can nodules show up months later?
Yes. Delayed-onset nodules can appear long after initial injections.

4. Can you fix nodules from another injector?
Absolutely. Most of our nodule-dissolve patients come from elsewhere.

5. Why do some bumps feel hard?
This can be from deep filler, dense crosslinked filler, or old product.

6. Will dissolving leave hollowness?
Not when done conservatively with ultrasound guidance.

7. Can ultrasound see granulomas?
It can show patterns suggestive of inflammatory nodules, helping guide treatment.

8. How quickly will the bump go away?
Many resolve within 24–72 hours. Larger nodules may need multiple sessions.

9. Can I do new filler after dissolving?
Yes, once the tissue settles and only if appropriate.

10. What if the bump is scar tissue?
Then Dr. Amir will recommend alternative treatments instead of dissolving.
