WHAT IS ULTRASOUND-GUIDED NASOLABIAL FILLER DISSOLVE?

The nasolabial folds (the smile lines from nose to mouth) are one of the most frequently injected and most commonly overfilled areas in aesthetics. When too much filler is placed — or placed in the wrong plane — patients can experience:

• Heaviness around the mouth

• Deepened folds instead of improvement

• Puffiness when smiling

• Visible lumps or ridges

• Filler migration toward the mouth

• An unnatural or “full” look in the mid/lower face

At plump medical spa, we use Butterfly iQ3, an AI-enhanced high-frequency ultrasound system, to precisely locate and dissolve unwanted nasolabial filler with maximum safety and accuracy.

This approach removes guesswork and restores a lighter, more natural look to the midface.

WHY THE NASOLABIAL FOLDS OFTEN LOOK WORSE WITH FILLER

The nasolabial fold region is complex. Blind filler placement can accidentally:

• Add heaviness to the midface

• Push tissue downward

• Worsen smile-line shadows

• Create hard, visible ridges

• Migrate into the upper lip or cheek

• Obscure natural facial definition

Ultrasound lets Dr. Amir see exactly where filler is hiding, so he can dissolve the right areas without flattening your natural contours.

WHAT ULTRASOUND-GUIDED NASOLABIAL FILLER DISSOLVE TREATS

• Overfilled nasolabial folds

Excess filler can weigh down the midface and exaggerate the fold.

• Lumps, bumps, ridges

Ultrasound pinpoints where filler is creating texture.

• Smile distortion or puffiness

Sometimes the filler sits too superficial or too medial.

• Migration toward the mouth

Nasolabial filler often migrates into the lip or cheek.

• Old or leftover filler from past injectors

Butterfly iQ3 detects filler even years after injection.

• Poorly blended midface-to-fold transitions

Ultrasound helps reset the region for more natural options.

HOW BUTTERFLY iQ3 IMPROVES NASOLABIAL FOLD RESULTS

The nasolabial area has multiple planes, fat pads, and vessels. Using the Butterfly iQ3 allows Dr. Amir to:

• See the exact depth and location of filler

• Map the filler relative to the facial artery

• Determine whether filler is causing heaviness

• Dissolve deep pockets without surface disruption

• Use minimal hyaluronidase for safer, cleaner correction

• Re-scan after dissolving to confirm results

This is especially important for patients who have been overfilled repeatedly over time.

THE PLUMP MEDICAL SPA APPROACH

Your treatment is:

• Doctor-only

• Ultrasound-guided with Butterfly iQ3

• Personalized to your anatomy

• Designed to lighten the midface naturally

• Focused on balance, not flattening

Many patients are shocked at how much lighter and refreshed their lower face looks after properly dissolving unwanted nasolabial filler.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT

Step 1: Evaluation and facial analysis
You and Dr. Amir go over your history, concerns, and goals.

Step 2: Butterfly iQ3 ultrasound scan
He maps exactly where filler remains and whether it is superficial, deep, or migrated.

Step 3: Targeted dissolving
Small, precise injections of hyaluronidase are placed only where needed.

Step 4: Re-scan
Ultrasound may be used after treatment to confirm proper breakdown.

Step 5: Follow-up plan
Some patients choose to rebuild support through cheek lifting, skin tightening, biostimulators, or conservative refilling — all guided by ultrasound.

FAQ — NASOLABIAL FOLD FILLER DISSOLVE

1. Why do my smile lines look worse after filler?
Often the filler is placed too superficially or in the wrong plane. Ultrasound shows exactly why.

2. Can you fix nasolabial filler done elsewhere?
Yes. Most patients we see for correction were injected at other clinics.

3. Can dissolving make my fold deeper?
Not when done conservatively. The goal is to relieve heaviness, not remove foundational support.

4. Will dissolving hurt?
It’s quick and generally well tolerated.

5. How soon will I look better?
Many see improvement within 24 to 72 hours.

6. Can I get new filler afterward?
Possibly — but not always in the fold itself. Often cheek support or midface lifting gives a better result.

7. Can ultrasound show if my bump is filler or scar tissue?
Yes. That’s one of the biggest advantages.

8. Do some folds not need filler at all?
Correct. Many people benefit more from cheek support or skin tightening instead.

9. How much filler usually needs to be dissolved?
Most patients need partial dissolving, not a full wipeout.

10. Is this safe for patients who had complications before?
Yes. Ultrasound-guided dissolving is the safest approach available.
