Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid Injectable Fillers

At MAOM, we recognize that injectable fillers do not always age as expected or deliver the results patients desire. Dissolving hyaluronic acid fillers with hyaluronidase has become a well-accepted treatment option for patients who wish to start fresh or correct concerns.

Common reasons for dissolving include:

  • Migration: Filler can shift over time, particularly in areas like the lips, leading to an unnatural appearance.
  • Side effects: This may include prolonged swelling or puffiness, such as under the eyes, or a visible blue hue under the skin known as the Tyndall effect, caused by filler placed too superficially.
  • Aesthetic reset: Many patients prefer to dissolve older filler before pursuing a more natural, refreshed treatment plan.

Next Steps After Dissolving

Following treatment, patients may choose to:

  • Refill the dissolved area with a more natural and balanced technique.
  • Change the treatment approach with advanced options such as PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), now considered a preferred approach in the delicate eye area, or plasma energy treatments.
  • Develop a personalized treatment plan with Dr. Kents to achieve refreshed, realistic results.

FAQ: Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid Injectable Fillers

Is dissolving filler painful?

Discomfort is minimal. At MAOM, we apply topical freezing before treatment to enhance comfort. Hyaluronidase is then carefully injected into the area to break down the filler. Patients may feel brief stinging or pressure, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.

Treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes. Visible improvement is often immediate, though the final result settles over several days.

Often, yes. However, depending on the amount and duration of the filler, multiple sessions may be needed for full correction.

Yes. Hyaluronidase has been used in medicine for decades and is considered safe in the hands of qualified practitioners. At MAOM, all dissolving procedures are performed by Dr. Kents, ensuring both medical oversight and precision.

Most patients are suitable for further treatment within 2-4 weeks, once the area has stabilized. Options may include refined filler placement or alternatives such as PRF for the under-eye region.

That is entirely appropriate. Some patients prefer to return to their natural appearance. Dissolving offers flexibility — either as a stand-alone treatment or as the foundation for a new, tailored plan.
