You should consider BBL filler removal if you’re experiencing discomfort, dissatisfaction with your results, or if the filler has shifted over time. Some clients decide to remove fillers when the outcome feels too exaggerated, uneven, or simply doesn’t match their expectations. Others may want to restore their previous look or feel more comfortable in their natural shape. If you’re concerned about asymmetry, lumps, or other complications, filler removal can help you regain a more balanced and harmonious appearance, tailored to your preferences.
1. Consultation
The process begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss your concerns and goals. We will examine the buttock area by using ultrasound guidance to evaluate the type and amount of filler previously used. This step helps to set the expectations for the results.
2. Anesthetic application
To ensure a comfortable experience, we will apply a local anesthetic to the area. This numbs the region to prevent discomfort during the procedure. The numbing process typically takes 15-20 minutes to become fully effective.
3. Enzyme injection for disolving butt fillers and/or cannula aspiration
If hyaluronic acid fillers were used, a specialised enzyme called hyaluronidase is injected into the filler to break it down. The enzyme works by speeding up the natural process of dissolving the filler, and the effects can be seen within 24-48 hours.
If polylactic acid or hydroxyapatite fillers were used, by manual aspiration with a very small cannula and voided syringe. This way we remove the filler with minimal damage to the tissue and improving the overall, aspect, feeling and shape with minimal to no scar tissue.
The procedure itself takes about 1-3h depending on the material, and it may require one or more sessions depending on how much filler needs to be removed. It’s a minimally invasive option, ideal if you want a quick and effective solution.
4. Aftercare and recovery
After the procedure, we will provide personalised aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal but typically subsides within a few days. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the treated area and ensure the filler has dissolved evenly. Full recovery generally takes a couple of weeks, during which time you’ll see a gradual return to your previous look.
Here are some of the possible risks:
Swelling and bruising: Temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site is common but typically resolves within a few days.
Infection: Any injection carries a small risk of infection, but this can be avoided with proper aftercare.
Asymmetry: There may be slight differences in the buttock shape post-removal if the filler isn’t dissolved evenly.
Allergic reactions: Though rare, some people may have allergic reactions to the enzyme used for dissolving fillers.
Skin irregularities: In some cases, lumps or uneven texture can occur, but these are often temporary and can be addressed with follow-up treatments.
By choosing a professional team, like ours, these risks are carefully managed to ensure the best possible outcome.
While BBL filler removal is a safe procedure, there are potential risks involved, as with any cosmetic treatment. These risks can vary depending on the type of filler used and the method of removal. However, working with an experienced and skilled professional significantly reduces the likelihood of complications. At our clinic, we prioritise safety and use the best techniques to minimise these risks.
If you’re considering removing fillers from other areas of your body, such as the face, lips, or any other region, we’re here to help. Whether you’re experiencing complications, dissatisfaction with the results, or simply want to restore your natural look, our team is ready to provide expert guidance. Contact us today for personalised advice and detailed information on filler removal options tailored to your specific needs. We’re committed to ensuring safe, effective results for any area of concern.
BBL filler complications can arise for a variety of reasons, including improper injection techniques, reactions to the filler material, or changes in the body over time. While most BBL procedures are safe and effective, complications may still occur, leading to discomfort or unsatisfactory results. Understanding these potential issues can help you decide if filler removal or correction is the right option.
Here are some of the most common BBL filler complications:
Asymmetry: Uneven results between both sides of the buttocks.
Lumps or irregularities: Hard lumps, bumps, or an uneven texture may form under the skin.
Overfilling or unnatural appearance: The buttocks may look disproportionate or too large for your frame.
Infection or inflammation: Redness, swelling, or signs of infection around the treated area.
Migration of filler: The filler may shift from the original injection site to another part of the body.
These risks can be minimised with professional treatment and proper aftercare.
How we treat BBL fillers complications at Dr. Ducu Clinics London
BBL filler complications can happen, but at our clinic, we offer expert treatments to address and correct any concerns you may face.
Below are the common complications and how we manage them to restore your confidence and comfort.
Asymmetry – If one side of your buttocks appears larger or differently shaped than the other, we can carefully dissolve excess filler on one side using a specialised enzyme. Our skilled practitioners then ensure a balanced, natural result through precise adjustments.
Lumps or irregularities – In cases where hard lumps or bumps form under the skin, we use targeted injections of an enzyme that breaks down the filler. This smooths out the irregular texture, and our team closely monitors the area to ensure even healing and proper skin recovery.
Overfilling or unnatural appearance – If the results look disproportionate or too large, we can reduce the volume by dissolving part of the filler. Our priority is to return your buttocks to a more natural shape that better fits your body’s contours.
Each treatment is customised to your specific needs, and our professional approach minimises risks while helping you achieve your desired outcome.
