Undo Uneven or Misplaced Fillers

Filler removal is for when a previous dermal filler just isn’t sitting right, or if you want to tweak, adjust, or completely start fresh. Using Hylenex hyaluronidase, our providers carefully dissolve unwanted filler in the lips, cheeks, or jawline. Whether it’s correcting overfilled spots, fixing asymmetry, or simply starting fresh, we tailor the process to your unique facial structure. Treatments are precisely administered to help bring back your natural beauty.

  • Misplaced or migrated filler from previous treatments
  • Any filler that no longer matches your desired look

How Filler Removal Works

Filler removal works by using Hylenex hyaluronidase, an enzyme that gently breaks down the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers. When injected into the treated area, it dissolves the filler safely, allowing your body to naturally absorb it. Our providers carefully assess each spot, customizing the amount and placement to ensure precision. Essentially, it’s a smart, enzymatic “undo” for your fillers, giving you the ability to correct, adjust, or refresh your look safely and effectively.

Your Filler Removal Experience

Consultation

During your consultation for filler removal in Glendale, AZ, we start by chatting about your goals and any concerns you have with your fillers. Our providers examine the areas you’d like adjusted, noting placement, volume, and any asymmetry. We explain how hyaluronidase works, what to expect during treatment, and any possible side effects. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan with step-by-step guidance.

Treatment

During the treatment, our providers start by gently cleaning the area and, if needed, applying a topical numbing cream. Using precise, targeted injections, we introduce Hylenex hyaluronidase directly into the unwanted fillers. The enzyme works to dissolve the unwanted product, breaking it down safely so your body can absorb it naturally. You may feel a slight tingling or warmth, but not pain.

Recovery

After filler removal, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. You might notice slight bruising or a tingling sensation for a day or two. Most people can return to their daily activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise or heat for 24 hours. The area usually settles within a few days, with any minor bruising fading in about a week.

Results

You’ll often notice changes within 24 to 48 hours as Hylenex begins dissolving the filler, but the area settles fully within one to two weeks. Any residual swelling or tenderness fades during this time, giving you a clear picture of the results. If you’re planning to get new fillers, your provider may recommend waiting two to three weeks to allow the treated area to fully recover first.

Filler Removal FAQs

Can Hylenex dissolve all types of dermal fillers?

Hylenex hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as JUVÉDERM and RESTYLANE. It cannot dissolve non-HA fillers like RADIESSE or Sculptra, so if you have those fillers and are unhappy with the results, your provider will discuss alternative options during your consultation.

How much hyaluronidase will I need to fully dissolve my filler?

The amount varies depending on how much filler was originally placed, how long ago it was injected, and the specific area being treated. Your provider will assess the area carefully and may sometimes recommend a follow-up session if complete dissolution requires more than one round of treatment.

Will filler removal leave me looking deflated or unnatural?

In most cases, dissolving filler simply returns the area closer to its natural baseline rather than leaving it looking hollow or over-corrected. However, if significant volume was added over multiple sessions, some patients choose to follow up with a more conservative filler treatment once the area has fully healed, typically two to three weeks later.

Is there any risk of an allergic reaction to Hylenex?

Allergic reactions to hyaluronidase are rare but possible, particularly in individuals with a known allergy to bee or wasp venom, as there is a small structural similarity between the two. Your provider will review your allergy history before treatment and can perform a skin test if there is any concern.

Can filler removal be used to address filler that was placed by a different provider?

Yes — True Skin & Wellness can dissolve filler regardless of where it was originally injected. Your provider will assess the placement, volume, and any asymmetry before creating a personalized removal plan to safely correct the concern.
