Lip Filler Dissolving

Lip fillers made from hyaluronic acid are a fantastic and safe way to correct lip asymmetries, restore volume, define the lips and create more plump lips that are better suited to your face. They are one of our most requested treatments. Dr. Shternfeld is an experienced and well trained aesthetic physician who provides this service at Inner Glow AestheticsMD. She uses multiple techniques to get you the results you want. Safety and great outcomes are always a priority.

Many patients come to us from other locations because they are not satisfied with their results. Too much filler, lumpiness, duck lips, bubbles can develop when filler is placed poorly or too much is used. Filler can migrate and create an unnatural appearance.

Good news is hyaluronic lip fillers are reversible. An enzyme called Hyaluronidase can be injected and will dissolve the filler. Multiple sessions may be required because some fillers are more difficult to dissolve. Permanent fillers cannot be dissolved, so it is important to know what kind of filler you have.

What Is Lip Filler Dissolving Treatment?

After consultation and thorough evaluation by Dr. Shternfeld, topical numbing cream is applied for greater comfort. Needles, cannula and ultrasound technique can all be used to effectively treat the area to be dissolved. Sometimes all the lip filler is dissolved and sometimes, just a spot treatment is needed.

Aftercare Advice:

• Mild to moderate swelling after the procedure is very common. You might also see some slight bruising due to the injections, which is absolutely normal. These will resolve after 2 weeks .
• An allergic reaction to Hylenex is very unlikely but possible and will have to be treated, if develops.
• After 2 weeks, you can have the lips treated again with fillers to give you the desired results.
