A fresh start for your filler
Do I need to dissolve my filler?
Sometimes filler no longer looks or feels the way it originally did. Your face may appear fuller, puffier or less balanced, even when you have not recently received more filler.
A careful assessment can help us understand where the filler is sitting and whether gentle, targeted dissolving may help restore a fresher, more natural appearance.
A consultation may be helpful if:
✓ Your face looks particularly puffy when you wake up
✓ Your face feels progressively fuller or heavier
✓ Swelling becomes more noticeable when you are unwell
✓ Your under-eyes regularly look swollen or retain fluid
✓ The under-eye area has a blue, grey or green-toned appearance
✓ Lip filler appears to have moved beyond the natural lip border
✓ One side looks fuller or less balanced than the other
✓ You want a fresh foundation before considering another treatment
These signs do not automatically mean that all your filler needs to be dissolved. Our doctors assess the area carefully and explain whether targeted dissolving, observation or another approach would be more suitable.

Experience Matters When Correcting Filler
Filler dissolving isn’t simply about injecting hyaluronidase everywhere.
Every face and every previous filler treatment is different.
At London Finsbury Clinic, we assess the area carefully before treatment and consider:
- Where the filler was originally placed
- How long it has been present
- Whether migration may have occurred
- Whether the area appears overfilled
- Whether partial or more extensive dissolving may be appropriate
- Your natural facial anatomy
- Your long-term aesthetic goals
Our philosophy is simple: restore balance first, then decide whether anything else is actually needed.
What is hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to break down hyaluronic acid filler. It works on the hyaluronic acid gel, allowing the treated filler to soften and disperse so the body can gradually clear the resulting material.
Treatment can be carefully targeted according to where the unwanted filler is located. The aim is not to change your natural face. It is to reduce unwanted heaviness, migration or imbalance and help reveal your natural proportions again.
WHAT AREAS CAN WE ASSESS FOR FILLER DISSOLVING?
Lip Filler Dissolving
For migrated, overfilled, uneven or unnatural-looking lip filler.
Common concerns include:
- Filler migration above the lip
- “Filler moustache”
- Duck-like or overly projected lips
- Poorly defined lip border
- Lumps
- Asymmetry
- Too much filler
- Desire to return to natural lips
- Under-Eye & Tear-Trough Filler Dissolving
The under-eye area is one of the areas where we frequently see patients seeking correction.
Consider an assessment if previous tear-trough filler has resulted in:
- Persistent puffiness
- Swelling beneath the eyes
- Uneven contours
- Visible filler
- Blue, grey or purplish appearance
- Tyndall effect
- Heaviness around the under-eye
- An unnatural transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
Because the under-eye is anatomically delicate, treatment should be individually assessed.
Nose Filler Dissolving
Previous non-surgical rhinoplasty filler can sometimes make the nose appear broader or less defined over time.
We can assess filler involving:
- Bridge of the nose
- Nasal tip
- Radix
- Sidewalls
- Previous filler migration or accumulation
- Cheek Filler Dissolving
If repeated cheek filler has left your face feeling:
- Puffy
- Heavy
- Overfilled
- Uneven
- Too projected
- Different from your
- natural facial proportions
we can assess whether existing HA filler may be contributing.
Chin & Jawline Filler Dissolving
Correction may be considered for:
- Overprojected chin
- Asymmetry
- Lumps or irregularities
- Excessive jaw width
- Poor definition
- Migrated or misplaced filler
- Results that no longer suit your facial proportions
- PARTIAL OR COMPLETE DISSOLVING?
- Do I Have to Dissolve Everything?
Not necessarily.
Some patients require correction of a particular area, while others may benefit from more extensive dissolving.
Hyaluronidase itself cannot distinguish between “good” and “bad” HA filler within the area where it is injected. This is why careful assessment, placement and dosing matter.
Our aim is not to dissolve unnecessarily. It is to determine what approach is appropriate for your individual concern.
Feeling unsure about dissolving?
A gentle, targeted approach
This is one of the most common questions we receive. Hyaluronidase is used to break down hyaluronic acid so unwanted HA filler can soften and disperse.
Our doctors use a considered, targeted approach based on the area, the product history and your natural facial proportions. The goal is to reveal a cleaner, lighter foundation for the next stage of your treatment journey.
A more natural way forward
A fresh foundation for natural-looking results
Our philosophy is to avoid repeatedly adding filler when the face already feels heavy or unbalanced. When appropriate, dissolving can create a cleaner foundation and allow us to focus on skin quality, collagen support and treatments that preserve your natural features.
After the area has settled, we may discuss collagen stimulators, skin-quality treatments or energy-based options instead of immediately adding more filler.
The goal is simple: to help you look refreshed, balanced and like yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
What is filler dissolving?
Filler dissolving is a doctor-led treatment that uses hyaluronidase to soften and break down unwanted hyaluronic acid filler.
What is hyaluronidase and how does it work?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that acts on hyaluronic acid gel, allowing treated filler to disperse so the body can gradually clear it.
The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How do I know whether I need my filler dissolved?
An assessment may help if your face feels heavier, looks persistently puffy, appears less balanced, or filler has moved beyond its intended area.
The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Can old filler cause facial puffiness?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, and retained, layered or misplaced filler may contribute to a fuller or puffier appearance.
Can filler be dissolved only in one specific area?
Yes. When suitable, treatment can be planned for a specific concern rather than automatically treating every area.
Do I need to dissolve all my filler?
Not always. Your doctor will assess whether targeted correction or a broader reset is the most suitable approach.
How quickly does filler dissolving begin to work?
The enzyme begins acting promptly, although the visible result continues to settle as temporary swelling reduces.
How long does the area take to settle?
Most areas need time to settle before the final balance can be assessed. Your doctor will arrange the appropriate review timing.
Can filler from another clinic be dissolved?
Yes. We regularly assess filler placed at other clinics and create a plan based on the area and likely filler type.
Can lip filler migration be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid lip filler that has moved beyond the lip border can often be assessed for careful, targeted dissolving.
Can cheek, chin and jawline filler be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid filler in the cheeks, chin or jawline can be assessed when it appears heavy, uneven, misplaced or no longer suits your proportions.
Can under-eye filler cause puffiness or fluid retention?
Under-eye filler may attract water or sit in a way that contributes to persistent puffiness. A doctor-led assessment helps identify the most suitable next step.
Why does under-eye filler look blue, grey or green?
A blue-grey or green-toned appearance can occur when filler sits superficially under thin under-eye skin. We assess the area carefully before recommending treatment.
What does migrated lip filler look like?
Migrated lip filler may appear as fullness above the lip border, a blurred outline, uneven projection or a ridge around the mouth.
Can hyaluronidase dissolve lip-filler migration?
When the concern involves hyaluronic acid filler, hyaluronidase can be used to soften or dissolve migrated product according to a personalised plan.
Why does my face look more swollen in the morning?
Morning puffiness can have several causes, but water-attracting filler may make it more noticeable in some treated areas.
Can filler swelling be more noticeable when I am unwell?
Some people notice that previously treated areas appear fuller when they are tired or unwell. An assessment can help determine whether filler may be contributing.
What happens during a filler-dissolving appointment?
Your appointment begins with a conversation and facial assessment, followed by a personalised plan and carefully targeted treatment when suitable.
Can I choose collagen-stimulating treatments after dissolving?
Yes. After the area has settled, we may discuss collagen stimulators, skin-quality treatments or energy-based options that support a natural-looking result.
