FILLER DISSOLVING
Filler dissolving is a popular procedure to safely and effectively reverse the effects of dermal fillers. This can be necessary for various reasons, such as unwanted outcomes, asymmetry, or skin reactions. The primary agent used for dissolving hyaluronic acid-based fillers is hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.
​
When to Consider Dissolving Fillers
-
Asymmetry: If one side of your face appears fuller than the other after a filler treatment, dissolving can balance the appearance.
-
Overfilling: An excessive amount of filler can lead to a “puffy” look. For instance, if cheek fillers create an undesired roundedness, dissolving may restore a more natural contour.
-
Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, individuals may develop allergic reactions to fillers, causing swelling or irritation that necessitates immediate action.
-
Moving Fillers: Sometimes fillers can migrate from their original injection sites, creating an uneven look. Dissolving can help reposition the aesthetic.
​
The Dissolving Process
The procedure typically involves a quick injection of hyaluronidase into the areas where the filler was applied. Results can often be seen within 24 to 48 hours. For example, if you had lip fillers that resulted in a lip shape you don’t like, a skilled practitioner can inject hyaluronidase to restore your natural lip contour. It’s crucial to have the procedure done by a trained medical professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
