WHY ULTRASOUND MATTERS FOR LIP FILLER DISSOLVING

Lip filler is one of the most commonly overfilled and most commonly migrated treatment areas. Migration above the lip border, pillow-lip fullness, stiffness, heaviness, uneven shape, or residual bumps can all be traced back to filler sitting in the wrong plane.

Traditional dissolving is blind.
At PLÛMP, we use Butterfly iQ3, an AI-enhanced high-frequency ultrasound system that lets Dr. Amir see exactly where migrated or unwanted lip filler sits before dissolving it.

This means:

• No guesswork
• No over-dissolving
• No dissolving your natural lip structure
• More accurate, cleaner results

Patients from Orange County, Irvine, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and even LA come specifically for this corrective approach.

WHAT ULTRASOUND-GUIDED LIP FILLER DISSOLVE TREATS

• Lip filler migration

The classic “lip shelf,” heaviness above the border, or swelling that never goes away.

• Overfilled or puffy lips

When the lips lose definition or look swollen rather than shaped.

• Unevenness or asymmetry

Localization of filler lets us dissolve only the areas causing imbalance.

• Lumps or nodules

Ultrasound identifies whether the bump is filler or scar tissue.

• Stiff or unnatural texture

Often caused by deep or poorly placed filler.

• Old filler from years ago

Butterfly iQ3 detects residual pockets even if you haven’t done filler recently.

• Pre-refill cleanup

A clean canvas is essential before rebuilding lips naturally.

HOW BUTTERFLY iQ3 IMPROVES RESULTS

The Butterfly iQ3 is one of the most advanced ultrasound technologies available — used in hospital systems and now in the hands of a facial aesthetics expert.

Key advantages for lip dissolving:

• AI-enhanced clarity to detect even tiny filler pockets
• High-frequency resolution ideal for superficial lip anatomy
• Precise vessel mapping around the vermilion border
• Real-time visualization while injecting hyaluronidase
• Minimal enzyme required because treatment is targeted
• Better preservation of your natural lip tissue

This creates smoother, safer, and more refined corrections than traditional dissolving.

THE PLÛMP APPROACH

Under the care of Dr. Amir, all lip filler dissolves are performed with a balance of:

• anatomical precision
• ultrasound accuracy
• aesthetic artistry
• a natural, subtle outcome

Your lips won’t be over-dissolved, flattened, or damaged.
The goal is a reset — not erasing your natural beauty.

This is why patients from Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Anaheim routinely travel to PLÛMP for revision work.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ULTRASOUND LIP DISSOLVE

Step 1: AI-Enhanced Ultrasound Mapping

Dr. Amir uses the Butterfly iQ3 to scan the lips and surrounding structures, identifying exactly where filler remains or has migrated.

Step 2: Precise Hyaluronidase Injections

Only the areas with unwanted filler are treated — avoiding natural tissue.

Step 3: Re-Scan Confirmation

Ultrasound is used again after dissolving to confirm correction.

Step 4: Refill Plan (Optional)

Once swelling settles, a custom refill plan can be created using ultrasound to avoid repeat migration.

FAQ

1. Can ultrasound tell if my filler migrated?

Yes. Butterfly iQ3 clearly shows migrated filler above or around the lip border.

2. Will dissolving ruin my natural lips?

No. We target only the unwanted filler, preserving your natural structure.

3. Does dissolving lip filler hurt?

Discomfort is minimal, especially because the injections are precise and limited.

4. How long before I see improvement?

Most patients notice changes within 24–48 hours.

5. Can I refill my lips afterward?

Yes — typically after 1–2 weeks. Ultrasound helps confirm readiness.

6. Can you fix botched or overfilled lips from another injector?

Absolutely. The majority of our lip-dissolve patients come from other clinics.

7. Do you use less hyaluronidase than typical dissolves?

Yes — precision means less enzyme, less swelling, and better outcomes.

8. Will everything be dissolved or just the problem areas?

Only the problem areas. Ultrasound helps us avoid over-dissolving.

9. How do I know if I even need dissolving?

Ultrasound shows whether the issue is filler, swelling, fibrosis, or something else.

10. Is ultrasound dissolving safe for sensitive lips?

Yes. High-frequency imaging makes this one of the safest methods available.
