How Ultrasound Dissolves Filler and Treats Malar Edema

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a powerful tool that uses sound waves to visualize what’s happening inside your body. It’s similar to the technology ships use to navigate underwater, but in the medical world, it allows doctors to see beneath the skin with remarkable clarity.

Using Ultrasound to Fix Filler Problems

Filler, a gel-like substance, is often used to smooth wrinkles or add volume to the face. However, sometimes filler doesn’t settle as expected, creating a need for correction. At Aviva Plastic Surgery, Dr. Fishman uses a special enzyme called hyaluronidase to break down the filler.

Ultrasound enhances this process by:

• Precise Treatment: Ultrasound helps Dr. Fishman identify exactly where the filler is located, ensuring the enzyme is applied precisely.
• Faster Results: With ultrasound guidance, the hyaluronidase spreads evenly, breaking down the filler more quickly.
• Less Pain: Ultrasound reduces the need for multiple injections, making the treatment more comfortable.

Treating Malar Edema

Malar edema, a swelling in the cheek area, can sometimes occur after plastic surgery. Managing this condition is crucial for recovery.

Ultrasound plays a key role in treating malar edema by:

• Non-Invasive Monitoring: Ultrasound enables Dr. Fishman to monitor swelling without additional surgery.
• Guided Treatment: The technology allows for precise treatment application to the affected area, speeding up recovery.
• Faster Healing: By reducing swelling quickly, ultrasound ensures a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.

Ultrasound is an amazing tool that Dr. Fishman uses to dissolve fillers and treat malar edema. Thanks to this technology, your recovery can be faster and more comfortable!
