Filler complications are undertreated worldwide. Most doctors offer only dissolvers or invasive open surgery. International patients fly to us because our ultrasound-guided pinhole extraction offers a different path—precise removal without scalpels, stitches, or guesswork.

Ultrasound-Guided Precision
See what the naked eye cannot
No Open Surgery
Pinhole entry, virtually invisible
Same-Day Discharge
Go home the same day; swelling and bruising usually settle in about 2–3 weeks
The Single Pinhole Advantage
Where traditional open surgery needs a scalpel and stitches, Dr. Liu extracts filler through a single needle-sized entry. The pinhole heals in about two weeks and is usually barely visible afterwards — a critical advantage for international patients who need to return home quickly.
Traditional Surgery
- Long incision
- Stitches required
- Visible scar
- General anesthesia
Single Pinhole
- Needle-sized entry
- No stitches
- Pinhole usually barely visible
- Local + gentle pain-relief anesthesia

A 2 mm pinhole. No incision.
Ultrasound shows where the filler sits; we remove it through a pinhole — no incision, no stitches. Larger areas are treated in zones or stages, still through pinholes. The pinhole heals in about 2 weeks; swelling and bruising settle in about 2–3 weeks.
Had RE2O or a Human-ADM Skin Booster in Korea?
RE2O and similar particulated human ADM skin boosters are not approved in Taiwan, so almost everyone who ends up needing revision had it injected in Korea. It is not hyaluronic acid: placed too superficially it forms visible papules and redness; placed too deep it consolidates into a mass. Hyaluronidase only dissolves the carrier half — the particles stay where they are. That is why "I had it dissolved and nothing actually went away" is so common.
For RE2O / human-derived ADM particulate skin-booster complications that hyaluronidase cannot address, we offer high-frequency ultrasound classification, inflammation and infection assessment, superficial papule repair, and image-guided single-pinhole minimally invasive extraction. How much can actually be removed depends on the material’s location, extent, degree of fibrosis, and nearby critical structures.
Before you book anything — start here
1 · Identify the material
What RE2O actually is, the full complication spectrum, and how reversible it is. Get the material wrong and the whole plan is wrong.
2 · Bumpy or red right now?
Whether this is still normal recovery or already a complication — and what to do and definitely not do while you decide.
3 · Why dissolving fails
Half-reversible by design: hyaluronidase clears the carrier, not the particles. Worth reading before you agree to another round of it.

Before Departure

Dr. Liu personally reviews every case — you'll know if we can help before booking your flight. Please don't book a non-changeable return flight until your treatment plan is confirmed.
Day 1 — Arrive Taiwan
In-person consultation with Dr. Liu. Real-time ultrasound imaging confirms exact filler deposits and maps the extraction plan.
Day 2 — Procedure
Single pinhole micro-extraction under local anesthesia plus gentle pain-relief anesthesia. 1-2 hours. You walk out the same day.
Day 3–5 — Recovery Package
A dedicated post-op care program supports the swelling as it settles. Most international patients stay in Taiwan for 3–5 days; larger or multi-area cases usually need 5–7 days. Swelling and bruising will still be visible when you fly home.
After You Return — Home Recovery
Swelling and bruising usually settle in about 2–3 weeks, the pinhole heals in about 2 weeks, and the final result takes about 3 months, varying from person to person. Remote follow-up via Telegram or LINE.

A specialized technique worth traveling for. Virtual assessment first, 3–5 days in Taiwan for most patients (5–7 for larger or multi-area cases), then online follow-up once you are home.

About when the final result shows (varies from person to person)
We don't promise "no downtime." Swelling and bruising will likely still be visible when you fly home. Swelling and bruising usually settle in about 2–3 weeks, and the final result takes about 3 months, varying from person to person. Our post-op recovery program is there to support you through it.

A small pinhole — and an honest recovery.
The pinhole is small and needs no stitches, but this is an extraction, so swelling and bruising are expected. Swelling and bruising usually settle in about 2–3 weeks, the pinhole heals in about 2 weeks, and the final result takes about 3 months, varying from person to person.

Finally, someone who believes you.
"It looks fine" — yet you can still feel it. Ultrasound can show where filler sits and what state it is in, even when nothing shows from the outside.

10,000+ minimally invasive procedures. 5,000+ filler revisions among them.
20 years in practice, 15+ years in filler revision. Extraction is done under ultrasound guidance: vessels, nerves and filler position are checked first, then treated through a pinhole.
Medical Travel FAQ
The filler has likely formed a hard 'capsule.' Your body's fibrous tissue has tightly wrapped around the filler like a wall blocking dissolvers. In this situation, medication cannot penetrate, and the main solution is precise micro-extraction of the encapsulated tissue.
We specialize in 'micro-pinhole technique' with wounds only pinhole-sized (hidden in skin texture or mucosa). The pinhole heals in about two weeks and is usually barely visible afterwards, though scarring still varies with individual skin. The pinhole is small, but this is an extraction, so swelling and bruising are expected: they usually settle in about 2–3 weeks, and the final result takes about 3 months, varying from person to person.
Swelling after a hyaluronic acid injection typically resolves within 1-2 weeks. 'Pillow Face' (Facial Overfilled Syndrome) refers to overfilling or wrong layer placement, causing artificial expressions, blurred facial contours, and an inflated appearance persisting for months. If you feel you look 'weirder with more filler' or 'stiff when smiling,' it's likely pillow face requiring removal or adjustment.
The face has a complex distribution of nerves and blood vessels. Dr. Liu has 20 years of minimally invasive surgery experience, thorough knowledge of facial anatomy, and can precisely avoid neurovascular bundles while removing as much as can be safely removed.
Yes. Literature documents delayed granuloma cases appearing 10 years after injection. Time alone doesn't rule out treatment: as long as the material shows on ultrasound and can be reached safely, removal can usually still be evaluated; how much can be removed depends on the material, its location, and whether it has encapsulated.
Repair surgery is highly customized. Cost depends on filler type (HA, collagen stimulators, or fat), number of lumps, depth of location, and severity. This requires the doctor's hands-on examination and ultrasound assessment before quoting. We insist on only providing necessary treatment.
