Understanding Fillers and Dissolvers:

There are various types of fillers, each with different properties and lifespans.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most common type and are also the only ones
dissolvable. HA fillers act by attracting water molecules and adding volume to specific
areas. Hyaluronidase, an enzyme naturally produced by the body, breaks down HA.
When injected strategically, hyaluronidase can dissolve HA fillers, essentially reversing
their effects.

Reasons for Dissolving Fillers:

There are several reasons why you might consider dissolving fillers:
● Unwanted Results: This is the most common reason. You might dislike the
shape, size, or placement of the filler.
● Overcorrection: Sometimes, a little too much filler can lead to an unnatural
appearance. Dissolving can help achieve a more subtle and balanced look.
● Migration: Fillers can sometimes migrate from the injection site, leading to
unevenness or bumps.
● Allergic Reaction: While rare, some individuals might experience allergic
reactions to fillers. Dissolving can alleviate these symptoms.

The Dissolving Process:

Dissolving fillers is a relatively simple procedure. Here’s what to expect:
● Consultation: Discuss your concerns and desired outcome with a qualified doctor.
They will assess the filler type, location, and amount to determine the best
approach for dissolving it.
● Injection: Hyaluronidase is injected directly into the area with the unwanted filler.
The number of injections and the amount of hyaluronidase used will depend on
the specific situation.
● Results: You might see an immediate or gradual reduction in the volume of the
filler. Depending on the amount and type of filler, additional dissolving sessions
might be necessary.

What to Expect After Dissolving:

Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling and bruising are common after the injection
and usually subside within a few days.
● Redness and Tenderness: The treated area might be temporarily red and tender.
● Gradual Change: It might take a few days or weeks to see the full effect of the
dissolving process.

Achieving Your Desired Look:

Once the filler is dissolved, you have a clean canvas to achieve your desired outcome.
Here are some things to consider:
● Realistic Expectations: Dissolving fillers is a reversal process, not a magic
eraser. There might be some residual effects, especially if the filler has been
present for a long time.
● Waiting Period: After dissolving, it’s best to wait a few weeks before considering
re-injection to allow the area to settle and ensure optimal results for the new filler.
● Consultation is Key: Discuss your desired look with your doctor and explore
different filler options and injection techniques to achieve the best possible
outcome.
