Hyaluronidase can reverse some facial fillers used in cosmetic treatments of the lips and face.
Facial fillers continue to increase in popularity for many reasons, such as being a nonsurgical office treatment via local anesthesia and minimal downtime. Facial fillers are second only to Botox® for non-surgical facial cosmetic treatments. Injections of Botox and facial fillers are performed by all cosmetic specialists, including dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and facial plastic surgeons, while surgical procedures are performed by a smaller pool of physicians.
Sometimes, however, a patient wants the facial filler to be reversed or removed. Hyaluronidase injections are used to reduce or remove hyaluronic acid fillers. Treatment with hyaluronidase speeds the natural breakdown of these types of fillers.
As a facial cosmetic specialist, Dr. Chaboki has patients referred to him by other dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and plastic surgeons for filler reversal. He first performs a consultation and then determines if reversal is an appropriate option. For many patients, waiting an appropriate amount of time to allow normal swelling to subside resolves most cosmetic issues.
The most common reason patients want to reverse a filler is for an undesired cosmetic result. “Too much”, “too different”, “not what I expected”, “looks worse” are some aesthetic reasons filler patients want reversal. Other reasons may include asymmetry, lumps, bumps, granulomas, or nodules that are undesirable. Some patients also may develop a bluish appearance to the skin (i.e. Tyndall effect) from some fillers placed to superficially. Prolonged tissue swelling or reaction from fillers can be another reason to consider hyaluronidase.
What are facial fillers made of?
Facial fillers such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Belotero® are made of a material called hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural component of the skin. HA fillers are a clear gel that softens facial wrinkles, augments lips, and enhances cheeks. HA fillers vary in their consistency, thickness, and longevity and are tailored for certain areas of the face. For example, Juvederm is very popular for lip injections.
Other fillers such as collagen injections, Radiesse®, and Sculptra® are made of other materials that cannot be reversed. Methods other than hyaluronidase are required to manage undesired results with these non-HA fillers.
What is hyaluronidase?
Hyaluronidase is a natural occurring enzyme in our tissue that modifies our own hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidase injections are considered very safe and have been used for years for non-cosmetic purposes in medicine before being used in cosmetic surgery to reverse HA fillers. Hyaluronidase injections continue to be used to help speed the delivery or dispersion of other drugs. For example in ophthalmic surgery, surgeons use hyaluronidase mixed with local anesthesia to help the anesthesia spread farther.
The different trade names or brands of hyaluronidase include Hylenex®, Vitrase®, and Amphadase®, which all have the same molecule hyaluronidase.
How is the hyaluronidase treatment performed?
The technique of hyaluronidase treatment is very quick. A small needle is placed in the area of the previous HA filler for injection, whether it’s the cheeks, lips, nose, eyes, etc. Most patients don’t require pretreatment numbing. Any discomfort, bruising, or swelling is typically mild and short-term.
Results may be noticeable within minutes after hyaluronidase injection and continues to work with time. Repeat injections may be necessary to help dissolve all the filler as necessary. Injecting hyaluronidase is not known to permanently dissolve any appreciable naturally occurring HA in your own tissue. In addition, hyaluronidase may be injected at anytime after HA filler treatment, even months after the initial filler injection.
Hyaluronidase primarily works on dissolving HA from aesthetic treatments. It does not directly reduce or remove scar tissue, swelling, and non-HA fillers (ex. collagen, Radiesse, Sculptra).
Lastly, hyaluronidase injection is not exact science. Some or all of the HA filler may be removed with a single hyaluronidase treatment. For those who just want “a little excess HA filler removed” might have all of it dissolved by even a little hyaluronidase. Patients who have had thick HA fillers injection (ex. Voluma®) might need repeated hyaluronidase treatments to have all the filler removed.
What is the cost of filler removal with hyaluronidase?
The price of hyaluronidase will vary based on many factors, such as the specific brand of the enzyme, number of treatments, etc. Generally speaking, however, hyaluronidase has usually been less expensive than facial fillers per injection.
You don’t have to live with the results of HA filler if you’re not happy. Lips that are too big, eyes that are too puffy, or cheeks that are lumpy after HA fillers can all be potentially treated with hyaluronidase. An injection with hyaluronidase is relatively easy and works quickly.

Hi, i want a facelift, but i got the Y lift wich is fillers in the jawline.
I got Y lift in june last year. Is it ok to dissolve fillers the same day of surgery?
For patients considering facelift surgery, most plastic surgeons will recommend dissolving fillers several weeks prior to surgery. Ideally before cosmetic surgery, plastic surgeons should evaluate the skin and facial structures without the presence of facial fillers. Thank you for the question!
I had hyaluronidase over treated and has a skin depression under the eyes, will it back to normal before the hyaluronidase injection? Thank yiu
Thank you for reading our blog. Hyaluronidase typically dissolves HA filler that has been placed previously, but may also dissolve HA that is naturally present in the tissue. However, injecting hyaluronidase is not known to permanently dissolve any appreciable naturally occurring HA in the tissue.
Hi. You mentioned most plastic surgeons will recommend dissolving fillers several weeks prior to facelift surgery. How the surgeon determine how many units of hyaluronidase to use and without dissolve our natural HA? Thank you.
The treatment with hyaluronidase is very individualized by plastic surgeons depending on multiple factors. Some treatment factors may include specific filler material, volume of filler material, and previously treated area. Ideally before cosmetic surgery, plastic surgeons should evaluate the face without the presence of facial fillers. However, hyaluronidase may or may not be necessary. Patients should speak with their plastic surgeons to determine if hyaluronidase is appropriate, and how hyaluronidase might be applied.

Hi, the skin depression and fat atrophy cause by mixed low dose of kenalog 10 and hyaluronidase injection reversible? Thank you
Every patient responds to treatment differently, and each plastic surgeon or dermatologist will modify hyaluronidase treatment. As a result, it’s difficult to determine specific results, such as skin depression. Patients should speak with their plastic surgeons to determine if hyaluronidase is appropriate and how hyaluronidase might be applied.

How is your face now? Has it gone back to normal after the Hyaluronidase?
Why do the doctors all say it is safe?
Thank you for reading. Hyaluronidase has been used for a very long time and used for years before being used in cosmetic surgery to reverse HA fillers. The decision to inject hyaluronidase, as with any treatment, is mutually determined by patient and physician after review of potential risks, benefits, and alternatives.

Aloha Doctor,
I had undereye filler about 3 months ago and it didn’t come out as I envisioned. My right side of my face is more filled than the other, my undereye now have a blueish half moon that looks sunken in almost. I guess because the filler didn’t make it to the undereye but along the cheek bone making that swollen and uneven. I want to get it removed. Should I remove it or wait it out?

Hi,
After several rounds of hyaluronidase on my cheeks I can hardly move my face now. There’s no filler left but my face feels very stiff as if I have thick chewing gum under my skin (sorry I couldn’t come up with better description). I find it difficult to smile or move my right check in particular. The left one is also stiff but it moves ok. I went to neurologist because I was worried I had bell palsy but the doc said no, because only my cheek is affected (not the forehead and the eye) I look as if I had a mild stroke as my lips on the right side are also slightly down. It took about 3 days after my last hyaluronidase injection for my cheek to go stiff and it got worse gradually over the following week. Needless to say I am freaking out.
Do you have any idea what might have caused this? Is it possible hyaluronidase overdose?’ And if so, will be face recover? I went about 4 times to dissolve the filler but have no idea how much hyaluronidase was put in. The injections were rather deep.
Thank you to taking the time to read this and I’m looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,

Hey Rumy, I have the same issue. Skin feels like chewing gum. How are you today? Some improvement?
Did this improve for you??
Yesterday, I received an injection of wydase to dissolve restylane (from a restylane “cheek lift” I had last April, some of which apparently migrated from the cheek to the under eye area and caused swelling, or what looked like swelling). I noticed the swelling begin to diminish very quickly, yesterday, after the injection andI was so ecstatic, but when I woke up this morning, I saw that there is a noticeable indentation, perhaps at the injection sight, that makes the under eye look distorted and casts undesirable shadows when I look in the mirror. Also, in the area directly under that eye, the wrinkles haven’t yet returned, so it seems there was swelling there that hasn’t responded. Thanks for any help you might have to offer.
Thank you for reading the blog.
There are several brand names of hyaluronidase and each patient may respond to hyaluronidase differently. Swelling can occur both after filler injections and hyaluronidase injections.

I’ve had hyalourindase injection many times the last one was in my nose and lips and chin
I’ve put kenalog in my nose before for 4 times to get it smaller since I had nose job and there is a gore tex implant
Once I had the hyalourindase injection in my nose my full face has been affected and I had swelling all over the fae and I couldn’t leave the house for 4 days , after 3 weeks my face started to have atrophy ( my lips, my eyes, my cheeks , chin ) there was a strange depression , I thought that with Hyalourindase I’m just going to get my normal face back but unfortunately it made it worse (looks ugly)
I really don’t advise any to use hyalourindase but just to wait for the filler to be gone with itself
As also it has affected my skin , more wrinkles , discoloration , and also it can easily bruised and takes long time to heal , I really depressed and don’t know what to do , I tried to put filler again but its doesn’t be as before I think I have ruin my face forever

HI, How long does it take for native hyaluronic acid to regenerate after hyaluronidase injection?
Thank you for your question and reading the blog.
We don’t have an exact answer as the body is a dynamic system. There is some evidence that external hyaluronidase may induce the synthesis of HA. In other words, degrading the body’s own HA by injection of hyaluronidase is followed by new synthesis of HA. However, each patient is unique and there might be a relatively temporary deficit of HA for a brief time. Speaking with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist can help determine appropriate options for each patient.

Dear dr
I have had cheek augmentation with Rystaline Perlane
However, I don’t like the result as there are multiple lumps and its unequal distribution
I have had 3 sessions of treatment with hydrolinase yet, its minimally reduced
I would like to hear your thought about it
Thank you for reading our website. Restylane® and Perlane® are made of hyaluronic acid gel, which typically responds to hyaluronidase injections. Multiple treatments may be required for some patients, especially for those who received high volume filler injections, frequent filler injections, or received very thick filler injections. Every patient is unique and treatments will vary. Speaking with an expert injector can help determine appropriate options for each person.

Hi,
I have had small amount of filler injected into my cheeks a few days ago, I do not like the effect and have generally decided that I would rather stay natural as this is better in the long run anyway. I have two questions. Firstly I had a thread lift in January, which greatly restored my collegen production and face shape and structure, my question here is if I remove the filler recently out places into my cheek (on Tuesday), will it affect the work that was done with the thread lift? (I really hope not). Secondly, is a week long enough for a filler to permanently stretch the skin out?? And will hyaluronidase dissolve or permanently damage my collegen, Native HA or the threads ?
Thank you for reading the blog. After HA facial filler injections, patients can either wait to have the filler gradually dissolve with time or inject hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler faster. Injecting hyaluronidase is not known to permanently dissolve any appreciable naturally occurring HA in your own tissue. Keep in mind, every treatment can effect natural tissue or previous treatments such as threads or sutures from thread lifts. Speaking with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist can help determine appropriate options for each patient.

In April 2018, I had filler along orbital bone and woke up with horrible eye bags the next day. I saw the plastic surgeon 5 days later and he said it would go down and try pressing the area several times a day. After 3 months of hoping it go down, compressions, and a steroid pack, I went back to the same practice in July 2018 and had hyaluronidase injected. I went back a week later for more under my right eye. It is now 3 weeks later and though the eye bag under my left eye seems improved a bit, it still looks terrible and it hard to tell if there been much improvement under the right eye. Is there still hope the eye bags will go down from these latest injections? And how long will it be until the filler themselves go away? If/could the eyebags be bc the filler migrated from the orbital bone to undereye, will it still go away? The Dr always did great work before (in other areas, it was his idea to do these orbital bone fillers) but he is in Florida and I am in Southern California for the next 2 months. Should I wait this out (will it start to look better at some time as it hopefully further dissolved either from these injections or filler dissolving naturally over time)? Go back to original board certified Dr in 2 months? Find a Dr here (i’m 2 hours from LA). Can you recommend some around here? I liked how I looked before and now so regret agreeing to Dr suggestion. It has aged my entire face and taken away from all the good results elsewhere.
Thank you for reading this cosmetic surgery blog. The duration of results with filler treatments will range depending on multiple factors, including specific filler material and location of injection. Plastic surgeons generally advise that results last about a year for under eye area, as filler gradually dissolves with time. Hyaluronidase can be used to reverse some fillers faster.
In addition, the lower eyelid may be puffy or have bags for various reasons. Read more in our previous blog post.

Swelling after dissolving a filler with hyaluronidase will vary, similar to swelling with facial filler injections.

Hi . I had a temporary HA filler 1 ml in my chin and 0.6 ml around my jaw line since 4 years; however i didnt like the result at all but i wait hoping that it will dissolve by itself which didnt happen , so when i heard about hyalorinase injection i did 3 sessions to dissolve the filler .it is dissolved now ;but im worried as the doctor removed more than the amount of the previous filler ! And also he injected some hyalorinase in a different area away from the filler !! I am so worried .the first question Is it safe if the injection was inserted in different place in the jaw line!not the exact filler place!! The second question is it ok to use more hyalorinase 2.5 ml while my actual filler was 1.6 ml ?? Your answer is really appreciated

Hi there,
I had Vobella July 2018 and Vollure Nov 2018
Jump to Dec 2018 and current. I’m being told that I’m having a delayed hypersensitive reaction to the fillers. That my body is not breaking the product down. Allergan’s rep is telling my injector to get rid of the product with Hylenex and
Prednisones with antibiotics. This is now March and I’ve had several sessions to have the product removed. I have nodules under my eyes, laugh lines and lips that have turned it size of green peas and some feel like wads of bubble gum. This seems never ending. How many treatments and mg’s of hylenex should I have to rid me of this? Is it possible to give too much hylenex? Thank you in advance

Hi Doctor,
I have had cheeks filler 2 months ago and was so happy with the results however, I went back to correct my under eye area to make it look more balanced with my cheeks but I didn’t like the results at all as I now have more puffing in my under eyes and beside the nose. It’s been a week, I visited my dr today and he said it’s still the swallowness caused by the procedure and I need to wait one more week. But I am not convinced and I feel it’s the filler itself. He said if he dissolved it for me there is a risk that I might loose my cheeks filler. I am planning on visiting another dr but my question is how much the risk is true? Is it not depending on the doze the dr is injecting and the area? Does the enzyme spread randomly?
Thanks in advance!

The under eye area is generally sensitive and can be puffy for various reasons. Read more in our other blog post on under eye puffiness. Hyaluronidase can spread to a certain degree and dissolve fillers outside of treatment area. Waiting is reasonable too for appropriate patients.

Hello Doctor,
I had Restalyn under my eyes about 6 weeks ago and I really love the results, except for one small detail – I have a small amount of puffiness on one side (definitely overfilled) and a VERY slight bluish hue. In your opinion is this drastic enough to warrant seeing someone new to dissolve and re-inject? Or should I consider myself lucky because the results are actually quite good despite a few small issues? Thank you!

Thank you for your question and reading our blog!
Facial fillers such as Restylane, Belotero, and Versa are popular to treat dark circles and under eye bags. Read more about nonsurgical eye rejuvenation treatments in our blog.
We typically advise patient that the best plastic surgeons performing the best procedures on the best patients may not alway get the best results 100% of the time. Having a conversation with the plastic surgeon performing the under eye filler treatment can help one determine appropriate options. Patient concerns regarding their cosmetic procedure may resolve on its own without another intervention, such as hyaluronidase.
