filler dissolving

There are a number of reasons why people want to dissolve their fillers. Thankfully, filler dissolving is possible for cosmetic or safety reasons.

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase injections, which contain an enzyme that can break down the filler. Dissolving lip filler is the most common.

WHY WOULD DERMAL FILLERS NEED TO BE DISSOLVED?

Fillers of all kinds, including lip filler, cheek filler, and jawline filler, look great when applied with a subtle, artistic hand. They can help you look and feel great on their own, or when paired with complementary treatments, such as chin augmentation or Botox. However, there are a few reasons why a person would want to dissolve their filler.

These problems usually occur when the injector is inexperienced. However, they can occasionally happen even under optimal conditions.

Lumps or unevenness (e.g., poorly injected dermal filler)
Asymmetry
Over filling
Migration of the filler to other areas of the face
The patient does not like the appearance of the treatment
Vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel)

These are rare problems. That said, filler dissolving is a reliable and safe option to remedy the problem.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE FILLER DISSOLVING PROCESS?

Appointments for dissolving fillers, such as dissolving lip filler include the following steps:

Consultation: We start by assessing the area of concern and then devise a plan to correct the issue.

Patch test: Due to the small chance of an allergic reaction to the hyaluronidase enzyme, we will inject a small amount into the inside of your forearm. We then leave it for 10 minutes before assessing if it is safe to proceed with the treatment.

Treatment: The treatment begins with an application of numbing cream to reduce any potential pain. Next, we inject the hyaluronidase solution into the affected area. Finally, we massage the area to disperse the dissolving solution.
