What Is Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is a non-surgical procedure used to properly break down and remove unwanted or poorly placed hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. This treatment is done using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that naturally occurs in the body and effectively dissolves hyaluronic acid.

At Kairon Polyclinic, we believe beauty should feel right. If you’re unhappy with the results of past fillers—whether it’s overfilling, asymmetry, or migration—our experts can gently reverse the effects and restore balance to your face.

How Does Filler Dissolving Work?

The dissolving process involves injecting hyaluronidase directly into the area where the filler was placed. This enzyme breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules, allowing your body to naturally absorb and eliminate them. The treatment takes just a few minutes and begins working within hours. Most patients see visible improvement within 24 to 72 hours, with full results appearing within one week.

Who Needs Filler Dissolving?

Filler dissolving is recommended for individuals who:

  • Have experienced unsatisfactory results from previous filler treatments
  • Are dealing with filler migration (filler spreading beyond its intended area)
  • Notice lumps, swelling, or unevenness in treated areas
  • Have overfilled features or unnatural appearances
  • Experience delayed complications like vascular occlusion or prolonged swelling
  • Simply want to reset their features for a more natural look

This treatment is especially useful for patients who had fillers done at other clinics or abroad and are now seeking correction by a professional team.

What Causes the Need for Dissolving?

Incorrect technique, over-injection, poor filler quality, or even just a change in aesthetic preference can all lead to the desire or need for filler reversal.
Common causes include:

  • Inexperienced injectors
  • Overuse or improper placement
  • Migration of filler over time (especially around lips or under-eyes)
  • Unnatural appearance due to trends that no longer suit the patient
  • Delayed-onset swelling or allergic response (rare but possible)

At Kairon Polyclinic, our experienced professionals assess each case thoroughly before recommending filler dissolving.

Where Can Filler Be Dissolved?

We can dissolve filler in the following common areas:

  • Lips – for overfilled or uneven lip shape
  • Tear troughs (under-eyes) – to address puffiness or bluish discoloration
  • Nasolabial folds – if results appear heavy or unnatural
  • Cheeks – to correct excess volume or distorted contours
  • Chin and jawline – if asymmetry or bulkiness has occurred
  • Any area where hyaluronic acid fillers have been placed improperly
