Do lip fillers dissolve?

Yes. Most modern lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that your body can naturally break down over time. This means lip fillers do gradually dissolve on their own, usually over 6–18 months depending on the product used, how much was injected, your metabolism and lifestyle. If you want them gone sooner, a qualified medical professional can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve hyaluronic acid filler more quickly. This should never be done at home or by anyone who is not medically trained.

How to dissolve lip filler?

The safest way to dissolve lip filler is with an injection of hyaluronidase performed by a medically qualified practitioner. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers and allows the body to clear them more quickly. During a consultation, your practitioner will assess your lips, discuss your goals, explain the risks and perform a small patch test if needed. You should never try to dissolve filler yourself or use unlicensed products, as this can lead to serious complications.

How to dissolve lip filler naturally at home?

There is no safe way to fully dissolve lip filler naturally at home. Hyaluronic acid fillers will break down gradually on their own over months, but you cannot speed this up safely with home remedies, massage, heat or DIY products. Trying to do so can irritate the lips, worsen swelling or affect the filler in an uneven way. If you are unhappy with your results or want your filler removed more quickly, the only reliable option is to see a qualified medical practitioner who can use hyaluronidase in a controlled, safe manner.

How to fix lip filler migration without dissolving?

Mild lip filler migration can sometimes be improved without fully dissolving everything, but this must be assessed and managed by an experienced injector. Options may include allowing swelling to settle, carefully adding small amounts of filler in strategic areas to rebalance the shape, or lightly smoothing borders to blend the product. However, if migration is significant, the most predictable solution is often to dissolve the migrated filler and start again after the tissue has settled. Do not try to fix migration yourself with aggressive massage or more filler from non-medical providers.

How long does lip filler take to dissolve?

Without any dissolving injections, hyaluronic acid lip fillers usually break down gradually over 6–18 months. The exact timing depends on the type of filler used, how much was injected, your metabolism, how expressive your lips are and lifestyle factors such as smoking or intense exercise. You may notice the lips slowly becoming less full over time rather than a sudden change. If you want them to go away faster, a medical professional can use hyaluronidase to speed up the process.

How long does lip filler take to dissolve with hyaluronidase?

When lip filler is dissolved with hyaluronidase, the product often breaks down within hours to a few days. You might see an initial change quite quickly, but there can also be temporary swelling or bruising that makes it hard to judge the final result straightaway. In some cases, more than one session is needed if there is a large amount of filler or several different products. Your practitioner will review the outcome after the swelling settles and decide whether any additional dissolving or later refilling is appropriate.

Should I dissolve my lip filler before getting more?

In many cases, it is best to dissolve old or migrated lip filler before adding more, especially if the shape has become uneven, lumpy or overly stiff. Starting with a clean base allows your practitioner to rebuild your lips in a more natural, balanced way. However, if your existing filler is minimal, well placed and still looks good, a careful top-up might be possible without dissolving. The right approach should be decided with a medically qualified injector after they examine your lips, review your filler history and discuss the look you want to achieve.

I will only use Dr Melissa for my procedures. I had a botched lip filler result which Dr Mellisa was able to correct for me. I never wanted to get my lip filler done again as the whole experience was horrid as I was bruised and inflamed for weeks.. After my consultation with Dr Melissa, I completely felt at ease as her knowledge and morals gave me total confidence in her work. I am so so happy with the journey I took with her and my results are amazing. My confidence in these treatments has been restored, but only with Dr Melissa doing it!

I had gotten 1ml lip filler done with a different injector and was really unhappy with the results, so contacted several clinics for help. The clinical sales executive (Shauna Mariotti) for Derma Medical contacted me back straight away, and was absolutely AMAZING. She helped me so much when i was distressed about having my lips dissolved, and was so kind and understanding, I couldn’t have asked for better help. Dr Haroon was amazing in dissolving my filler, and overall experience was great. Thank you ❤️

I went to Dr Patel to have my lip filler dissolved after a bad experience with another clinic. Dr Patel was fantastic! He was very professional and made me feel at ease throughout the consultation and during the procedure. My lips have returned back to how they were before fillers. Highly recommend this clinic and would not hesitate to go back for anything else in the future. Thank you Dr Patel.

Dr Saetta really understands the face and also the psychology involved when things aren't right. I'm working with her at the moment to refine and dissolve some filler that was injected by another practitioner. We marked out the areas really carefully and she's using a very careful and steady approach. I could see the results instantly and I'm happy to be working with her going forward
