Lip fillers can help enhance your natural beauty, but what happens if you’re unhappy with the results? Whether it’s uneven volume, overfilled lips, or simply a change of heart, dissolving lip fillers is a safe and effective option. The process typically involves a product called hyaluronidase, an enzyme that can break down hyaluronic acid-based fillers. At Impact Medical Cosmetics, we help clients throughout Oakville, Mississauga, and Toronto feel more confident and informed when considering lip filler correction services.
What Is Hyaluronidase and How Does It Work?
Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid—the main ingredient in most modern lip fillers. When injected into the treated area, hyaluronidase dissolves the filler by speeding up its breakdown, allowing the body to safely absorb it. It’s often used to correct issues like overfilling, asymmetry, migration, or lumps.
According to Jacqueline Victoria, Registered Nurse and aesthetic specialist at Impact Medical Cosmetics, “Hyaluronidase is an excellent tool for refining results or reversing fillers when needed. It gives clients flexibility and peace of mind.”
Why Would Someone Want to Remove Lip Filler?
While most lip filler experiences go smoothly, there are valid reasons why someone might want to dissolve them:
- Overfilled or unnatural appearance
- Filler migration or lump formation
- Allergic reactions or swelling
- A desire to return to their natural look
For many, lip filler correction is part of their aesthetic journey. “It’s not uncommon for clients to seek filler removal after visiting other clinics or trying different styles,” shares Jaylene Howarth, owner and founder of Impact Medical Cosmetics. “Our job is to help guide them back to a look they feel confident in.”
What to Expect During Lip Filler Dissolving Treatment
The treatment is quick and relatively straightforward. A consultation is essential to evaluate your lips and determine whether hyaluronidase is suitable for your situation. Once cleared, the enzyme is injected precisely into the areas where filler needs to be removed. Most people notice visible reduction within 24 to 48 hours, although full results can take a few days.
Here’s what the dissolving process typically includes:
- Consultation with a filler correction specialist
- Patch testing to rule out allergic reactions
- Precise injection of hyaluronidase into targeted areas
- Observation period to monitor results and plan next steps
Mild swelling or redness is common after the procedure, but downtime is minimal. Clients can usually resume normal activities the same day.
How Long Does It Take to Dissolve Lip Fillers?
Most hyaluronic acid fillers begin breaking down within hours after hyaluronidase is administered. However, the time it takes to fully dissolve lip fillers depends on factors like:
- Type and amount of filler used
- How long the filler has been in place
- Individual metabolism and healing response
Clients often return for follow-up appointments to fine-tune results or prepare for new filler placement. “In many cases, once we’ve successfully dissolved the previous filler, clients feel ready to start fresh with a more customized and balanced treatment plan,” explains Jacqueline Victoria.
Is Hyaluronidase Safe for Lips?
Yes, when administered by an experienced medical professional, hyaluronidase is safe and effective. However, choosing a qualified provider is critical. Incorrect use can lead to uneven results or unnecessary complications.
At Impact Medical Cosmetics, all dissolving lip filler procedures are performed by licensed experts trained in emergency medicine and advanced aesthetic techniques. “Safety is always our top priority,” says Jaylene Howarth. “We take the time to assess each client carefully and ensure the treatment is the right fit.”
Your Options After Dissolving Lip Filler
Once your filler is dissolved, you can choose to leave your lips natural or opt for a new filler treatment. Many clients take this opportunity to reset and approach their aesthetic goals with a new perspective.
