Honest, careful assessment and correction of unwanted filler results
The Treatment
A safe space to fix what is not right
If you are living with filler results you are unhappy with, whether from treatment carried out here or elsewhere, I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to assess what has happened and discuss your options honestly.
Filler corrections and dissolving is one of the most important services I provide. The aesthetics industry is largely unregulated, and I see clients regularly who have had filler placed incorrectly, in the wrong areas, in too large a quantity, or by someone without the training to manage complications. You are not alone, and in the majority of cases, something can be done.
Hyaluronic acid filler, which is the most commonly used type, can be dissolved using a prescription-only enzyme called hyaluronidase. When injected into the treated area, hyaluronidase breaks down the filler and allows it to be absorbed safely by the body. Dissolving can be used to remove filler entirely, to address migration, to correct asymmetry or to reduce overfilled areas. Results from dissolving are typically visible within 24 to 48 hours.
Not all filler can be dissolved. Certain types of filler, including permanent or semi-permanent products, do not respond to hyaluronidase. At your consultation I will assess exactly what has been used and give you an honest picture of what is achievable.
A full consultation is always required before any correction or dissolving treatment. There is no pressure to proceed, and I will always take the time to make sure you understand your options fully before any decision is made.

The Process
What to Expect
Consultation and full assessment
I take time to listen to your concerns and assess the area carefully. I will ask about where and when your previous treatment was carried out and what products were used if known. There is no pressure and no judgment at this stage.
Honest discussion of options
I explain exactly what I can see, what I believe has happened and what the realistic options are. If dissolving is appropriate I will explain the process and what to expect. If correction with filler is a better approach, I will explain why.
Photographs
Before photographs are taken with your consent to document the starting point accurately.
Topical anaesthetic
A numbing cream is applied to the area before any injections begin.
Treatment
Depending on your plan, hyaluronidase is injected to dissolve existing filler, or a careful correction is carried out using filler placed precisely to address asymmetry or improve the result. In some cases both stages are carried out in the same appointment.
Review and assess
Once treatment is complete I review the result and check the area thoroughly. For dissolving, the full result is assessed at a follow-up appointment 48 hours later.
Aftercare guidance
I explain what to expect during recovery and when you can safely consider any further treatment if needed.
Suitability
Is This Right for Me?

Corrections | Dissolving FAQs
Can you dissolve filler that was done somewhere else?
Yes. I regularly see clients who have had treatment elsewhere that they are unhappy with. I assess each case individually and will be honest with you about what is possible.
Does dissolving hurt?
The area is numbed before treatment. The dissolving injections themselves feel similar to filler injections. Most clients find it very manageable.
How quickly does dissolving work?
Results from dissolving are typically visible within 24 to 48 hours as the hyaluronidase breaks down the filler. Swelling after the dissolving process can make the area look a little uneven in the first day or two, so a follow-up review 48 hours later is standard practice.
Will dissolving remove all of the filler?
In most cases, yes. Occasionally a second dissolving session is needed if the area contained a large amount of product or if the filler was particularly dense. I will let you know what to expect at your consultation.
Can all types of filler be dissolved?
Only hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. If permanent or semi-permanent filler has been used, dissolving is not an option. I will assess this at your consultation and be straightforward about what is achievable.
How long do I need to wait before having new filler after dissolving?
I typically recommend waiting a minimum of two to four weeks after dissolving before replacing filler. This allows the area to fully settle and ensures we are starting from a clear, accurate baseline.
