Should You Dissolve Your Fillers? How to Know When It’s Time

You might consider dissolving your fillers if you’re experiencing:

• Overfilled or puffy appearance
• Lumps, unevenness, or asymmetry
• Migration of filler under the eyes, lips, or nasolabial folds
• A change in aesthetic preferences (wanting a softer, more natural look)
• Dissatisfaction with results from previous treatments

What to expect:

• A brief consultation and exam
• One or more injections of hyaluronidase into the treatment area
• Swelling may occur for 24–48 hours
• Most results are visible within 2–5 days

You might be a good candidate for filler reversal if:

1. Your results no longer align with your current goals
2. You feel your face looks unbalanced or unnatural
3. You’ve experienced lumps, swelling, or migration
4. You want to “reset” your look before pursuing a more regenerative or structural treatment

Remember: dissolving doesn’t mean abandoning filler forever. In many cases, we refine and rebuild the treatment plan to achieve a more harmonious, natural result.

Dissolving HA fillers is very safe when performed by a trained provider. However, some people may have temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort. It’s also important to work with a provider who understands facial anatomy, as dissolving in the wrong place can lead to volume irregularities.

At The Centre, we take a conservative, expert-guided approach to ensure you get the most aesthetically pleasing result—whether that means dissolving, replacing, or refining.

If you’re not quite ready to dissolve everything, consider:

• Touch-up or redistribution to correct asymmetry
• Switching to a lighter filler or smaller dose
• Combining filler with skin tightening treatments for a more natural lift
• Letting older filler naturally metabolize while focusing on skin health and collagen stimulation

Whether you’re rethinking your look or simply want to feel more like yourself, dissolving your fillers can be a powerful step toward a refreshed, confident appearance.
