How Long Does It Take for Lip Fillers to Dissolve

Lip fillers restore lost volume and keep the lipplump. This article explains how long it will take for lip fillers to dissolve, and how long the dissolving process lasts.

Lip fillers give lips more volume. Depending on the kind they select, injectable fillers might last between three to eighteen months, although they are temporary. Patients are not obliged to wait if they are unsatisfied with their findings. Based on the filler utilized, patients may well be able to dissolve their lip fillers sooner. They might dissolve all of the filler or only a portion of it if they wish to lower the volume or smooth out the lumpiness.

How Long Will itTake for Lip Fillers to Dissolve?

Since lip fillers are temporary, a patient is not supposed to use them indefinitely. Snozzi& Van Longhem (2018) suggested that patients wait six to twelve months for cosmetic procedures to dissolve naturally. A  cosmetic doctor can dissolve lip injections in a few days as a reverse procedure for you.

The effects of Hyaluronidase are instantaneous. However, because the body chemistry varies, not all patients immediately see the effects. The rate of HA filler deterioration may vary between brands. Consider how much filler a patient wants to disperse. A patient might need to come in for multiple sessions to get the desired outcomes. Most patients start to see effects in as little as a few days. Following the surgery, lips might momentarily look larger. This may occur due to slight edema from the injections and additional volume from the dissolving fluid.

How the Dissolving Process Last

The dissolving procedure will be comfortable after having the lips filled. An aesthetic practitioner injects tiny quantities of Hylenex into the lips after washing, sanitizing, and giving a topical anesthetic to the area. The procedure region will next be massaged to aid in the degradation of the filler. According to Petillon et al. (2020),the filler would dissolve in approximately three days, keeping your lips unchanged despite the possibility of swelling.

Is Dissolving Safe?

It is safe to dissolve the lip filler. Some clinics place the highest priority on safety. Due to this, all injectable treatments are administered by a registered cosmetic doctor who takes great care to ensure the procedure is done correctly and safely. According to Sartawi et al. (2022), cosmetic doctors perform a spot test and wait a sufficient amount to see if the patient has an allergic response to the dissolving enzyme. It’s typical to experiencebruising, swelling,and mild burning pain after the spot test. Christen (2020) showed that the bruising goes away a few days after the therapy, but the swelling goes away within forty-eight hours. Cosmetic doctors ask patients to return after two weeks to guarantee they don’t require another dissolving procedure.

How Much Should You Have Lip Filler Dissolved?

The cosmetic doctor who administered the filler injections could be willing to remove them at no cost if a patient is dissatisfied with the outcome of the lip augmentation or has some issues. It is important to inquire about their policy first. However, if a patient has lip fillers removed by a different cosmetic doctor, the price ranges on their level of experience, location, and the quantity of Hyaluronidase needed.

This comes down to a patient’s particular physiology. Skippen et al. (2020) showed that the typical time range is three to five years if you have frequent filler procedures and encounter filler migration. However, this is only a ballpark figure. Patients can avoid dissolving lip fillers if they are satisfied with the results. A cosmetic doctor will advise patients if they need to restart and dissolve if they examine lips and discover filler migration or an odd shape.

Tan et al. (2019) suggested that if a patient consistently obtains lip filler, it is more practical to dissolve it each five years since this helps preserve the lip’s integrity. Once the filler is eliminated, a patient can begin the “rebuilding” procedure again by receiving another syringe of filler, followed by a second one until you resume annual procedures.

What Are the Risks of Dissolving Lip Fillers?

According to Lucaciu et al. (2022), Hyaluronidase may also damage the Hyaluronic acid in addition to the foreign filler. Patients will have thinner lips than they might anticipate if that occurs. This is why a patient should wait for lip fillers to dissolve naturally or only allow a cosmetic doctor to execute this procedure. An allergic response is a possibility. This is why patch testing must be performed before the injections.

FAQs about Lip Fillers

How Long Do Lip Fillers Take to Dissolve Entirely?

Bukhari et al. (2018) suggested that Hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin, is used to make lip fillers, which are naturally broken down by the body over six to eighteen months. A substance known as Hyaluronidase is used in this procedure.

Dermal fillers do not endure permanently, but a patient can maintain a  post-filler look by maintaining a regular touch-up routine. However, if left unattended, the filler will soon fade.

Why Are My Lip Fillers Not Dissolving?

If the lip filler is in a region away from the blood flow, cells that secrete HA won’t dissolve it.

How Do I Dissolve Lip Fillers Naturally?

A technique to hasten the process, although the body breaks down naturally. Murray et al. (2021) showed that with more Hyaluronidase, which the body naturally generates to disintegrate fillers, the lips could restore their natural shape within three to four days.

Conclusion

It’s an excellent alternative to remember in the event of a mistake to be able to get your lip fillers dissolved. Although it is a tremendous final resort, we advise that it remain a last resort. A patient gets satisfied with the results if they select an experienced cosmetic doctor who is qualified and skilled. Professionalism and sound aesthetic judgment are required for the most significant outcomes. Ensure the cosmetic doctornot only inquires regarding wishes but also informs you of what is probable and improbable. The ideal formula for a symmetrical and attractive face is these considerations.
