Lip filler removal

The procedure is suitable for various situations. Reasons are related to the gel's behavior in tissues and the body's individual reaction. Sometimes the material shifts due to facial expressions or distributes unevenly, creating discomfort and visual imbalance.

Most often, patients seek treatment for the following conditions:

• excessive volume and heaviness of the contour
• gel displacement due to active facial movements
• migration of the material to the area under the nose and the appearance of 'duck lips'
• filler moving into the mucous membrane
• dense areas and uneven gel distribution
• unnatural results after injections
• encapsulation and formation of lumps

The specialist conducts an examination, palpates the tissues, determines the gel's localization, and forms a safe correction plan.

How filler removal works

Procedure steps:

• Lip examination, clarification of wishes, and determination of material placement
• Skin test for sensitivity to the preparation
• Dilution of hyaluronidase to the required concentration
• Careful introduction of the enzyme into areas where gel is present
• Follow-up appointment in two weeks

Hyaluronidase begins to work immediately after injection. The maximum result appears within two weeks. If necessary, additional correction is performed.

Advantages of Hyaluronidase

Using hyaluronidase offers several advantages:

• even gel breakdown
• fast visual effect
• gentle effect on tissues
• ability to precisely correct specific areas
• high safety due to biocompatibility

The procedure is suitable for both eliminating aesthetic imperfections and correcting complications.

What is Hyaluronidase

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid molecules. It divides the gel into smaller fragments, which are naturally excreted through the lymphatic system. The mechanism of action ensures softness, precision, and a controlled result.

Correction of Undesirable Results

Filler removal helps if the gel has distributed unevenly, created dense areas, or altered the shape of the lips. The procedure is also suitable for incorrect injection technique, excessive volume, use of overly dense preparations, or the appearance of lumps.

The correction restores light lines, improves symmetry, and creates a soft, natural contour.

How Lips React After the Procedure

After dissolution, the lips become soft, and their shape evens out. Mild swelling quickly subsides. The patient feels comfort and lightness in the lip area.

How Long Do Lips Heal

Recovery is fast — tissues stabilize within a few days. The surrounding skin becomes smooth and calm.

How Quickly Does the Filler Dissolve

The enzyme begins to act immediately. The main dissolution process occurs within two weeks. During this period, the gel gradually decreases and is naturally excreted.

What Not to Do After the Procedure

For comfortable recovery, it is important to follow a few rules:

• avoid saunas, steam baths, and heat treatments
• exclude intense workouts
• do not consume alcohol
• do not stress the lip area or massage it without recommendations

Such a regimen creates conditions for a soft and even result.

Other Methods of Filler Removal

Surgical removal is used only in exceptional situations. As a rule, hyaluronidase is sufficient for complete correction. In complex cases, a doctor may prescribe an ultrasound to accurately determine the gel's location.

Contraindications

Filler removal is not performed if:

• pregnancy and lactation
• individual sensitivity to the enzyme
• blood clotting disorders
• active herpes in the lip area
• acute infectious processes
• pronounced swelling or fresh lip injuries
• oncological diseases
• dermatological diseases in the treated area

Recommendations After the Procedure

A calm regimen helps tissues recover gently and evenly. Precautions reduce the load on the injection area and create conditions for a stable result.

Accelerating Natural Gel Resorption

Light massage, moderate activity, and improved blood circulation can accelerate the natural dissolution of small gel residues. The most pronounced effect is provided by the injection of hyaluronidase.
