Cosmetic Review & Dissolving / Adjustment
Supportive clinical review to assess, refine, or address migration, asymmetry, or heaviness from previous procedures performed elsewhere.
Anatomical Assessment & Clinical Approach
If you have had previous cosmetic work performed at another clinic, or years ago, that has migrated outside its anatomical border, feels lumpy, appears bluish under the eyes (Tyndall effect), or no longer suits your face, starting fresh is often the safest and most flattering choice.
At Mapp Aesthetics in Miranda and Outlet Village (Warwick Farm), our clinicians provide a judgement-free, confidential 45-minute Cosmetic Review & Previous Treatment Adjustment consultation.
Working alongside our prescribing medical practitioners, we assess the tissue via palpation and visual animation, perform mandatory intradermal allergy patch testing where enzymatic dissolving is indicated, and allow a strict 14-day tissue recovery window before any future re-treatment.
Anatomical Structures Evaluated
- Superior vermilion border and cutaneous upper-lip migration ("filler moustache")
- Infraorbital tear trough puffiness, fluid malar bags, or Tyndall bluish tint
- Asymmetrical nodules, granulomas, or overfilled facial compartments
Common Patient Indications
- Lip product that has migrated above the white roll border creating a shelf-like shadow
- Chronic under-eye puffiness from old hydrophilic product placed years ago
- Lumps, unevenness, or heaviness from previous cosmetic treatments
- Desire to return to your natural baseline anatomy before planning conservative care
What Happens During Your Appointment
01. Palpation & Migration Mapping
We examine where previous product sits relative to your muscle fibres and natural anatomical borders.
02. Medical Consultation & Intradermal Patch Test
Because prescription dissolving enzymes carry a rare risk of hypersensitivity (especially in patients with bee/wasp venom allergies), we conduct a medical screening and forearm intradermal patch test prior to treatment.
03. Mandatory 14-Day Tissue Recovery Protocol
Enzymatic adjustment works rapidly over 24 to 48 hours, but we enforce a minimum 14-day tissue recovery period before any fresh treatment so your natural tissue baseline stabilizes completely.
Post-Visit Integration & Aftercare Guidelines
- Expect 24 to 72 hours of localized swelling and tenderness as the enzyme breaks down cross-linked bonds.
- A complimentary 2-week follow-up review is included to assess your restored baseline anatomy.
All cosmetic and skin procedures are elective and carry potential clinical risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and localized sensitivity. Individual outcomes vary depending on anatomy, skin biology, and medical history, and results cannot be guaranteed. A comprehensive in-person consultation is required prior to any procedure to assess suitability and obtain informed consent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does enzymatic dissolving ruin your natural tissue or natural collagen?
Your body naturally produces and turns over its own hyaluronic acid every 24 to 48 hours. While tissues may look temporarily dehydrated for a few days immediately after dissolving, your native extracellular matrix replenishes its natural baseline within 10 to 14 days.
How soon after dissolving can I have my lips or under-eyes re-treated?
At Mapp Aesthetics, we require a strict minimum of 14 days after dissolving before performing any new treatment. Treating too early risks placing new product while residual enzyme or swelling is still present.
