Filler Dissolving

What is Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is a cosmetic procedure designed to break down and remove unwanted dermal fillers. These fillers, often used to plump up the skin and reduce wrinkles, can sometimes cause issues or yield unsatisfactory results. The process involves injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which safely and effectively dissolves the filler material, allowing the body to naturally absorb it.

What are other names for Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is commonly referred to as "filler reversal" or "filler removal". These terms are used interchangeably in the field of aesthetic medicine to describe the same procedure. The goal remains consistent: to eliminate unwanted filler and restore the natural appearance of the treated area.

How Does Filler Dissolving Work?

Filler dissolving works by using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that specifically targets hyaluronic acid, the main component of many dermal fillers. When injected into the area where the filler is present, hyaluronidase breaks down the hyaluronic acid, allowing it to be reabsorbed by the body. This method is precise and generally well-tolerated, providing a straightforward solution for adjusting or correcting filler results.

EXPECTED RESULTS / BENEFITS
What are the Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Filler Dissolving?
The primary benefit of filler dissolving is the immediate correction of undesired or excessive filler, leading to a more natural and balanced appearance. This procedure offers a quick and effective solution for addressing complications or dissatisfaction with previous filler treatments. Patients can expect noticeable improvements soon after the enzyme is injected, with the results typically visible within a few days. Additionally, the process is minimally invasive, involves little downtime, and allows for further adjustments or new treatments to be planned if needed.
PREPARATION & AFTERCARE
Filler Dissolving Preparation Advice
Before undergoing filler dissolving, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with your practitioner to discuss your specific needs and any potential risks. We typically advise avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil, for at least a week prior to the procedure to minimise bruising. Additionally, it’s helpful to come to your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face to ensure the treatment area is properly assessed and prepared.
Filler Dissolving Aftercare Advice
After filler dissolving, you should follow a few simple aftercare steps to ensure optimal results. It’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to extreme temperatures for at least 24-48 hours, as these can affect the treatment area. Applying a cold compress can help reduce any initial swelling or bruising. Keeping the area clean and avoiding touching or massaging it will also contribute to a smooth recovery. If you experience any significant discomfort or unusual symptoms, contact your practitioner for further guidance.

Who is a Good Candidate for Filler Dissolving?

A good candidate for filler dissolving is someone who has experienced unsatisfactory results from previous dermal fillers or is dealing with complications such as lumps or unevenness. This procedure is suitable for individuals looking to correct or reverse the effects of their fillers to achieve a more natural appearance. It’s important that candidates have realistic expectations and are in good overall health. Consulting with a qualified practitioner will help determine if filler dissolving is the right choice based on your specific situation and treatment history.

Filler Dissolving - Alternative Treatments

For those seeking alternatives to filler dissolving, options such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be adjusted or replaced with different formulations to achieve desired results. Additionally, non-invasive treatments like radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy may help stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture without removing the existing filler. In some cases, a carefully planned revision using new fillers or other injectables might be recommended to refine and enhance your aesthetic outcomes. It’s essential to discuss these alternatives with your practitioner to find the best approach for your individual needs.
