Lip filler has become a very popular treatment in recent years but unfortunately due to under qualified practioners. Dissolving lip filler must be done by an experienced professional as too much and the product will start to dissolve your own collagen, and so an injector with experience is vital. Sometimes, people may have had a lip treatment elsewhere and it is mis-shaped/overfilled/unbalanced filler and the ask Dr Hennessy Clinics to resolve the issue. In which case the first step in correcting the filler is to dissolve it.
We also see people who are wanting to start their lip filler from scratch, to help achieve a different type of look. When dissolving lip filler, Hyaluronidase will be injected into the lips. Once this is injected into the lips, it starts to break down the filler, this speeds up the dissolving process that naturally occurs over time.
Are dissolving lip filler treatments safe?
Due to this treatment using naturally occurring bodily materials, dissolving lip filler does tend to be a very safe treatment. Hyaluronidase has been used for many years, something that healthcare professionals will be familiar with. However, like most treatments it does have its risks which will be discussed with you during a consultation and at the treatment itself. When having lip filler dissolved you need to make sure you have your treatment done by an experienced practitioner, who is highly qualified to ensure the best results such as Dr Hennessy.

How long will it take for the lip filler to dissolve
