filler dissolving

There are several medically appropriate reasons why patients may require the dissolution of hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers. In some cases, excess filler volume may result in soft tissue distortion, functional imbalance, or asymmetry. Other patients may present following previous treatment in which filler has migrated, causing unintended contour changes or affecting the integrity of surrounding tissues.

Hyaluronic acid based fillers are reversible using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the filler material so that it can be safely reabsorbed by the body. Treatment is considered on a case-by-case basis following full clinical consultation and assessment. Filler migration may occur due to a variety of factors, including technique, filler rheology, or patient-specific anatomical variations. While not common, such issues may interfere with tissue function or contribute to undesirable changes in facial structure that necessitate reversal for therapeutic reasons.

In rare but serious cases, filler can be inadvertently introduced into a blood vessel, leading to vascular occlusion. This condition, if not addressed promptly, may impair blood flow and lead to tissue compromise. In such instances, hyaluronidase is used as part of an emergency management protocol to dissolve the obstructing material and restore circulation. Filler dissolving is always carried out in a clinical setting under medical supervision, with appropriate safety measures and protocols in place.
