What is Filler Dissolving?
What is Filler Dissolving?
Filler dissolving is a treatment used to break down hyaluronic acid dermal filler using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronic acid is the most common type of temporary dermal filler used in areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, tear troughs and marionette lines.
You may consider filler dissolving if you are concerned about:
Migrated lip filler
Overfilled lips or facial features
Lumps or uneven filler
Filler that looks puffy or unnatural
Old filler that has not settled as expected
Asymmetry after filler treatment
Tyndall effect, where filler can create a bluish tone under the skin
Filler that no longer suits your face
A previous result you would like to revise
Vascular occlusions or necrosis
Filler dissolving is not only a cosmetic treatment. In rare cases, hyaluronidase may be used as part of urgent management for vascular compromise after hyaluronic acid filler.
If you have severe pain, skin blanching, dusky or mottled skin, cold skin, worsening discolouration, or any visual symptoms after filler, this should be treated as urgent rather than booked as a routine dissolving appointment.
How does Filler Dissolving work
How does Filler Dissolving work
Filler dissolving works by injecting hyaluronidase into the area where hyaluronic acid filler is present. Hyaluronidase breaks down the bonds within hyaluronic acid, allowing the filler to soften and be absorbed by the body over time.
The process can be used in a targeted way, for example to treat a small lump, or more broadly, for example when someone wants to dissolve a larger area of old or migrated filler.
Some people notice a change quite quickly, while the final result may take longer to settle as swelling reduces and the treated area returns closer to its natural state. The response can vary depending on the type of filler used, how much filler is present, where it was placed, how long it has been there, and whether the product has spread into surrounding tissue.
In some cases, more than one dissolving session may be needed. This is more likely when there is a large amount of old filler, filler in delicate areas, or filler that has been placed in multiple layers over time.
It is also important to understand that hyaluronidase is not usually used to dissolve every type of filler. It is used for hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Other types of filler may not respond in the same way and need a different assessment.

What Filler Dissolving cannot do
What Filler Dissolving cannot do
Filler dissolving can be very useful, but it is not the right answer for every concern.
It cannot dissolve every type of dermal filler. If you have had a non-hyaluronic acid filler, hyaluronidase may not work in the same way.
It cannot always remove filler perfectly in one session. Older filler, layered filler, migrated filler or filler placed in complex areas may need a staged approach.
It cannot guarantee that the skin will immediately look exactly as it did before filler. Once filler is dissolved, the area may appear flatter, looser or more deflated for a period of time, especially if the skin has been stretched or if natural ageing changes have occurred since the filler was first placed.
It cannot correct every lump or swelling if the cause is not filler. Sometimes swelling, nodules or firmness may relate to inflammation, infection, scar tissue, granuloma, dental issues, or another medical cause. These need proper assessment rather than simply dissolving.
It also should not be treated as a quick beauty fix. Hyaluronidase is a medical treatment and can rarely cause allergic reactions, including swelling or hypersensitivity reactions.

What happens during the consultation?
Your consultation will begin with understanding what you are unhappy or concerned about. You may feel your filler has migrated, your lips look too full, an area feels lumpy, your face looks puffy, or a previous treatment no longer feels right for you.
We will assess the area carefully and ask what filler was used, where it was placed, when it was injected, how many sessions you have had, and whether you have experienced pain, colour change, swelling, infection, delayed reactions or previous complications.
You will also be asked about your medical history, allergies, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, autoimmune conditions, previous reactions to injections, and any history of anaphylaxis or allergy to bee or wasp stings, as these may be relevant when considering hyaluronidase.
If dissolving is appropriate, the process will be explained clearly, including the expected result, the possibility of swelling or bruising, allergy risk, aftercare, whether a patch test is needed, and whether more than one session may be required. In an emergency complication, treatment may need to be given urgently rather than delayed for routine patch testing.
After filler dissolving, it is usually sensible to allow the area to settle before considering any new filler treatment. This gives swelling time to reduce and allows the natural anatomy to be reassessed more accurately.
