Candidates for FILLER DISSOLVING

Patients that have previously had filler and the results are not what they were hoping for are candidates for filler dissolving. Some common reasons to have filler dissolved include:

  • Overfilled or unnatural appearance

  • Asymmetry or irregular texture

  • Migration of filler outside the intended area

  • Safety concerns, such as vascular compromise

  • Desire to return closer to baseline before considering retreatment

The Filler Dissolving process

  • Consultation & Assessment
    Dr. Ramachandra reviews your filler history, treatment goals, and examines the treated area.

  • Ultrasound Mapping
    Using a Clarius handheld portable ultrasound, she maps filler deposits and important blood vessels in the area. This provides a clear, real-time guide for safe and accurate enzyme placement.

  • Hyaluronidase Injection
    After performing local anesthetic "blocks" to control pain, Dr. Ramachandra injects small amounts of hyaluronidase directly into the areas where filler needs to be dissolved. The enzyme begins working within minutes, breaking down HA filler.

  • Follow-Up
    Some cases require more than one session for complete correction. Dr. Ramachandra schedules close follow-up to monitor your progress and plan next steps.

What to Expect from Filler dissolving

  • Quick treatment: Most visits take about 30 minutes.

  • Comfort options: Local numbing and comfort measures are available as needed.

  • Downtime: Minimal; temporary swelling or redness may occur.

  • Results: Dissolving typically begins right away, with clearer changes over 24–48 hours.

Important Consideration for filler dissolving

  • Hyaluronidase works only on hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g., JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®), not on other filler types.

  • While the enzyme is highly effective, results can vary, and sometimes more than one session is needed.

  • Dissolving filler does not always return the face perfectly to its pre-filler state; natural aging changes and skin stretch may remain.

  • Rare risks include allergic reaction or dissolving of native hyaluronic acid in the skin.
