Dissolving Filler

What Is Dissolving Filler?

Dissolving Filler involves carefully injecting hyaluronidase, an FDA-approved enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic-acid fillers so the body can naturally clear them. You’ll see early softening within 24 hours and full reversal in 3–7 days, with redness or mild swelling lasting just hours. Results are permanent for the treated filler, letting you start fresh or refine shape.

Ideal for: anyone unhappy with previous filler, experiencing nodules, or facing vascular compromise—especially if you value physician-led care by board-certified surgeons.

How Dissolving Filler Works

  1. Prep & anesthesia:

    Your skin is cleansed; topical numbing or ice keeps you comfortable—no general anesthesia needed.

  2. Dilution & testing

    We perform a small patch test to rule out rare allergies before treatment.

  3. Precise enzyme injections

    Your surgeon delivers hyaluronidase exactly where excess filler sits, monitoring for instant softening.

FAQs - Dissolving Filler

How much does Dissolving Filler cost?
Fees vary by area and enzyme volume; we review all pricing during your confidential consultation, and flexible payment plans are available.
How fast will I see results?
Softening begins within 24 hours, with full dissolution typically complete by day 7.
Is hyaluronidase safe?
Yes—when administered by a board-certified physician. Severe reactions are exceedingly rare.
Does it hurt?
Topical numbing plus lidocaine in the solution limit discomfort to brief stings.
What are common side effects?
Expect temporary swelling, redness, or mild bruising for up to 48 hours; these effects usually resolve on their own.
Can I adjust instead of completely removing filler?
Absolutely—your surgeon can micro-dose enzyme for subtle refinement rather than full reversal.
What if lumps return?
Residual nodules may need a touch-up; your scheduled follow-up ensures smooth, lasting results.
How soon can I refill the area?
Most patients wait 2–3 weeks for tissues to stabilize before placing new filler.
When should I seek medical attention?
Contact the provider who treated you—or seek urgent care—if you experience increasing pain, escalating or uneven swelling, heat, discoloration, vision changes, or any symptom that concerns you.
