AESTHETIC CORRECTION & REVISION
What is Aesthetic Correction & Revision?
Aesthetic correction and revision is designed for patients who are unhappy with, concerned about, or seeking to improve the result of a previous aesthetic treatment. This may include unwanted filler, asymmetry, excessive volume, filler migration or an outcome that no longer feels right for you.
Dr Sultan takes a careful, clinically led approach to aesthetic revision. Depending on your individual circumstances, treatment may involve filler dissolving with hyaluronidase, filler correction, reshaping or, where appropriate, carefully planned refilling. Each case is assessed individually to determine the safest and most appropriate approach.

Additional information
-
Aesthetic correction and revision can help address concerns following previous aesthetic treatment, including unwanted volume, asymmetry, filler migration, unevenness or a result that no longer suits your facial features. Depending on the assessment, treatment may involve dissolving, correction, refinement or, where appropriate, carefully planned further treatment.
-
Filler dissolving may be appropriate when hyaluronic acid dermal filler is contributing to an unwanted aesthetic result. This can include excessive volume, certain types of asymmetry, unwanted filler placement or some cases of visible or palpable filler. The decision to dissolve filler is made following an individual clinical assessment.
-
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When appropriate, it can be used to help dissolve hyaluronic acid dermal filler. The amount and location of treatment depend on the individual case, and further assessment may be required once the area has settled.
-
Yes, in appropriate cases. Lip filler and facial filler can sometimes be corrected through targeted dissolving, refinement or further treatment. The correct approach depends on the type and location of the filler, the concern being treated and the patient's individual anatomy.
-
Aesthetic revision may be considered for concerns including excessive filler, asymmetry, unevenness, unwanted volume, filler migration, changes in facial proportions or dissatisfaction with a previous aesthetic treatment. The underlying cause of the concern should be assessed before treatment is recommended.
-
In some cases, yes. Where previous hyaluronic acid filler has been dissolved, it may be possible to consider further filler once the tissues have settled and the result has been reassessed. Refilling is not automatically recommended and will depend on the individual clinical assessment.
-
Depending on your concerns and treatment history, complementary treatments may include dermal fillers, lip fillers, full face rejuvenation or other facial aesthetic treatments. Any additional treatment would be recommended only where it is clinically appropriate and supports the overall treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Aesthetic correction and revision involves assessing and, where appropriate, improving the result of a previous aesthetic treatment. This may include filler dissolving, correction, refinement or a staged treatment plan. It can be considered for concerns such as unwanted volume, asymmetry, filler migration, unevenness or dissatisfaction with a previous treatment.
-
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler can often be treated with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. This may be appropriate for unwanted facial or lip filler, depending on the type, amount and location of the filler. Not all dermal fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, so an individual assessment is important.
-
In some cases, yes. Filler correction may help address asymmetry, excessive volume, unevenness, unwanted filler placement or changes in facial proportions. The cause of the concern needs to be assessed first, as it may relate to filler, swelling, underlying anatomy or other factors. Treatment may involve dissolving, refinement or further treatment.
-
In selected cases, further filler may be considered after previous filler has been dissolved. It is usually important to allow the area to settle before reassessing the result. Whether refilling is appropriate will depend on your individual anatomy, previous treatment, concerns and aesthetic goals.
-
Aesthetic correction may be suitable for adults who are concerned about a previous aesthetic treatment and would like a professional clinical assessment. Filler dissolving with hyaluronidase can cause temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising, and allergic reactions are possible. Treatment may not be appropriate where further intervention is unlikely to provide a meaningful benefit. Suitability and risks will be discussed during your consultation.

Dr Sultan is a specialist in medical aesthetics with a background in plastic surgery and extensive experience in facial aesthetics. His approach combines detailed assessment, knowledge of facial anatomy and his philosophy of “less is more.” For revision cases, this means considering what has already been done before deciding whether dissolving, correction, further treatment or no intervention is most appropriate.
