Getting lip filler to enhance your pout may not be a new trend, but there’s plenty to know about the process – and what you can do if you want to part ways with your treatment (or have a less than satisfying experience). While some people aren’t happy with the results of their treatment, others (we’re looking at you Kylie Jenner) are deciding to get rid of their lip filler and return to a more natural look. The safest and most instantaneous way to remove lip filler is to dissolve it. Read on to learn how to dissolve lip filler, the process of dissolving lip filler, the cost, and more.
Can You Dissolve Lip Filler?
Lip fillers can take 6-12 months to dissolve naturally but if you’re unhappy with how you look, have visible bumps from the initial injections, or have other complications you may want quicker results. So, how do you dissolve lip filler? Lip fillers made from hyaluronic acid can be dissolved by injecting a hyaluronidase solution. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is often nicknamed “filler dissolver” because it literally breaks the filler down and dissolves it. If you received filler with a silicone base, the lip filler removal process can be a bit more complicated. These lip fillers aren’t as common anymore and they can’t be dissolved. If you have silicon-based filler, consult your provider for other options for filler removal.
The Process of Dissolving Lip Filler
There is no at-home remedy for quickly dissolving lip filler and the process must be done via injection by a professional. During the approximately 15-minute appointment, your provider injects the hyaluronidase solution directly into the lips to break down the hyaluronic acid to reverse and dissolve the effects of the filler. Depending on how much filler was initially injected, it can sometimes take two treatments to dissolve all the filler, but the results will almost be immediate!
What are the Risks of Dissolving Lip Filler?
Dissolving lip filler is an incredibly safe procedure and comes with little to no risk. It is possible you’ll experience swelling or light bruising at the injection site but there are no major caveats with this treatment, so long as you aren’t allergic to any of its ingredients. You might experience mild pain or discomfort with injection as with any injectable treatment. Please consult your provider before your lip filler dissolve appointment to make sure it’s safe for you.
How Much Does It Cost to Dissolve Lip Filler?
Now that we know that lip filler can be dissolved and what to expect at the appointment, the next natural question is how much does filler dissolver cost? The price range varies depending on your provider and how many sessions you need but you can expect to pay somewhere around $500 for your filler removal. You can kiss your lip filler goodbye because the results will be visible in 24-48 hours!
