Filler Lumps & Overfilling Can Be Fixed! Minimally Invasive Removal Rescue

When You're Told "This Is Normal," We Say "Let Us Help You"

Last week, a patient walked into our clinic with a lump under her eye.

As soon as she sat down, she said quietly:

"Dr. Liu, I can't even look in the mirror anymore."

Six months ago, she had Ellanse injected elsewhere, and a noticeable hard lump gradually formed under her eye. She returned for follow-up visits three times, but the responses she received were:

  • ❌ "It's your body's constitution"
  • ❌ "Wait two years—it will absorb on its own"
  • ❌ "We've done everything we can"

She tried dissolving agents—no response. She had steroid injections—still unmoved. Finally, she was told: "There's really nothing more we can do."


What We Offer Patients Is Not Just Technique, But the Commitment to "Do Everything to Help You"

After careful evaluation, I performed a Minimally Invasive Lump Removal for her:

AspectDetails
Incision SizeOnly pinhole-sized
TechniquePrecise extraction of stubborn foreign material
RecoveryOnly mild swelling and bruising, recovered in one week
ScarringCompletely scar-free

When I showed her the completely extracted lump on the sterile tray, she suddenly burst into tears.

Not from pain, but because:

"Finally, someone believed me and was willing to help."

These words left a lasting impression on me.

Filler Complications Are Not Hopeless

You don't have to just wait for natural absorption!

We have effective methods to address nodules / lumps / overfilling caused by:

Treatable Filler Types

I have experience treating complications from:

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers
  • Collagen-based fillers
  • Ellanse (PCL fillers)
  • Sculptra and other collagen stimulators
  • Fat transfer overfilling

Some may be due to "constitution issues," but we have methods to appropriately resolve and improve them—we won't just tell you to wait indefinitely for it to "metabolize on its own."

True medical care means standing by the patient when problems arise.


Let Liusmed Clinic Be Your "Rescue Station"

If you're facing:

  • ▸ Nodules, lumps, uneven texture, overfilling, or puffiness after injection
  • ▸ Filler complications that haven't improved
  • ▸ Uncertainty about who can help

Come to Liusmed for an evaluation—we might be the ones who can help you.
