What should I do if I have received too much hyaluronic acid injected in my chin?

Hyaluronic acid injections in the chin area are primarily used to improve facial contours. The general reference price for chin hyaluronic acid injections is 1000-3500 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically occurring within one to three months. If excessive hyaluronic acid is injected into the chin, it can generally be addressed through methods such as waiting for natural absorption, applying warm compresses, massage, injecting hyaluronic acid dissolving enzyme, or surgical removal. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.

1. Waiting for natural absorption: Hyaluronic acid will gradually be absorbed by the body over time. If the overfilling is not severe, waiting patiently is an option. Generally, after several months to about a year, part of the hyaluronic acid will naturally metabolize, allowing the chin shape to gradually return to normal.

2. Warm compress: Applying a warm compress appropriately can promote local blood circulation and accelerate the metabolism of hyaluronic acid. A warm towel or heating pad can be used on the chin area for 15-20 minutes per session, several times daily, but care should be taken to avoid excessive heat that could burn the skin.

3. Massage: Gently massaging the chin can help accelerate the dispersion and absorption of hyaluronic acid. The massage should be performed with moderate pressure using circular motions, several times daily for a few minutes each time, avoiding excessive force that could cause tissue damage.

4. Injection of hyaluronic acid dissolving enzyme: This is a specialized enzyme capable of dissolving hyaluronic acid. After evaluation by a physician, an appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid dissolving enzyme can be injected into the chin area to rapidly break down excess hyaluronic acid, restoring the chin to the desired shape.

5. Surgical removal: If excessive hyaluronic acid was injected and serious complications occur, such as skin necrosis or vascular embolism, surgical removal of the hyaluronic acid may be necessary. This is a more complex procedure, and post-operative care is required to prevent issues such as infection.

Careful selection of the physician is important to ensure they possess the necessary qualifications and experience. Avoid injecting excessive amounts of hyaluronic acid at one time, and follow all pre- and post-operative care instructions.
