Dissolving Fillers in Seoul
a careful reset to natural
Filler dissolving uses an enzyme called hyaluronidase to break down hyaluronic acid filler, correcting results that look overfilled, uneven, lumpy or have migrated — and creating a clean base for re-treatment if wanted.
Last updated
How does dissolving filler work and how long does it take?
Dissolving filler means injecting hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid filler so the body can clear it. Most of the effect is seen within 24–48 hours, though swelling can take a few days to settle and some cases need a second session. It does not dissolve non-HA products such as Sculptra. After about 1–2 weeks, areas such as the lips or under-eyes can be re-treated conservatively if desired.
Correction with care and restraint
Dissolving is as much about judgment as technique. Your JIA physician identifies where the filler sits and dissolves only what's needed — not everything in sight.
Detailed assessment
We review your filler history and examine the area to locate excess or migrated product before treating.
Controlled dosing
Hyaluronidase is used in measured amounts and targeted areas to restore balance conservatively.
Patch test when needed
A small test dose can be used for patients with allergy concerns.

Issues we commonly correct
Hyaluronidase can help when hyaluronic acid filler hasn't settled the way you hoped. Common reasons include:
- Overfilled lips or filler migrated above the lip border
- Puffiness or a bluish (Tyndall) tint under the eyes
- Uneven cheek, chin or jawline filler
- Poorly shaped nose filler
- Hard lumps, nodules or uneven texture
- Facial heaviness from layers of old filler

How filler dissolving works
Consultation
Your doctor reviews what was injected, when and where, and examines the area closely.
Test dose if needed
For patients with allergy concerns, a small test dose may be done first.
Targeted injection
Hyaluronidase is injected precisely into the filler; the area may feel warm or swollen briefly.
Review & next steps
Most change is seen in 24–48 hours. A second session or conservative re-filling can follow after 1–2 weeks.
Who filler dissolving suits
- People unhappy with previous HA filler results
- Those with overfilled lips, cheeks or jawline
- Patients with under-eye puffiness or discoloration after filler

Before & after your treatment
- Bring any details of the filler brand and date if you have them
- Expect mild swelling, redness or itching for a day or two
- Some natural volume may look reduced at first as swelling settles
- Wait about 1–2 weeks before re-filling — e.g. lip filler
- Tell your doctor about allergies (including bee stings); not suitable during pregnancy
Dissolving filler questions, answered
How quickly does filler dissolve?
Hyaluronidase starts working within minutes, and most of the change is visible within 24–48 hours. Dense or older filler may need a second session.
Will dissolving filler damage my natural tissue?
Hyaluronidase targets hyaluronic acid. Your body naturally replenishes its own hyaluronic acid, and conservative dosing helps keep the area looking natural.
Can all fillers be dissolved?
Only hyaluronic acid fillers. Collagen stimulators such as Sculptra or non-HA products can't be dissolved this way.
When can I get filler again after dissolving?
Usually after about 1–2 weeks, once swelling has settled and the area can be reassessed.
Can JIA correct filler done at another clinic?
Yes. Many patients come to us for correction. Bring any information you have about the product and treatment date.
