Real Results

"I had migration from previous cheap treatments elsewhere. Clare dissolved the problem areas and 2 weeks later added more filler and I've never been happier with my lips! She is so warm and welcoming and makes you feel at ease from start to finish."

TREATMENT INFORMATION
Lip filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase, a prescription-only enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid filler. It is commonly used to remove migrated lip filler, reduce overfilled results, soften lumps or asymmetry, or return the lips to a natural baseline before future refill treatment. At our Maidstone clinic, treatment is always carried out following consultation, medical assessment and suitability checks.
The treatment works specifically on hyaluronic acid fillers, which are the most commonly used type of dermal filler in aesthetic practice. It does not affect permanent or semi-permanent filler materials, natural tissue, or collagen.
Dissolving can be performed as a full or partial treatment. Full dissolving removes all filler to return lips to their natural state, while partial dissolving targets specific areas of concern such as migration, lumps, or asymmetry.
Hyaluronidase is a prescription-only medicine and must be administered by qualified medical practitioners following appropriate consultation and assessment.
Many clients choose lip filler dissolving when previous filler no longer looks balanced or has moved outside the natural lip border. Migration, visible shelves above the lip line, uneven volume, persistent lumps and dissatisfaction with previous treatment are all common reasons to seek correction. Dissolving can also be the best option for clients who want a fresh start before having lip filler redone more conservatively.
Filler migration is a common concern that develops over time. Hyaluronic acid filler can gradually move from its original placement, particularly when excessive volume has been used or when filler is placed too superficially. This creates characteristic “shelves” above the natural lip border or uneven distribution.
Starting from a blank slate enables your practitioner to assess your natural lip anatomy accurately, plan appropriate placement, and achieve balanced, proportionate results. Many clients who were dissatisfied with accumulated filler from previous treatments experience significantly improved outcomes following dissolution and strategic refilling.
At Awlin Beauty Medical Aesthetics, we advocate for a natural aesthetic philosophy. Our approach prioritises enhancement of your natural features rather than dramatic transformation, creating results that complement your individual facial structure.
Common Concerns
Professional correction for a range of lip filler concerns in Kent and Medway.
Too much filler creating unnatural volume or discomfort.
Filler moving beyond the natural lip line causing visible ridges.
Irregular texture or asymmetry from improper placement or technique.
Starting fresh to achieve more balanced, natural-looking lips.
Many clients seek filler dissolving after experiencing complications from previous treatments, whether performed at Awlin Beauty Medical Aesthetics or elsewhere. Common concerns include:
Lip filler dissolving provides a safe, effective solution for correction and restoration, allowing you to return to your natural lip appearance or create a blank canvas for future filler treatment.
The Process
Comprehensive consultation to review your medical history, assess the filler present, discuss your concerns and desired outcome, and determine treatment suitability. We explain the process, potential risks, and expected results.
Although rare, allergic reactions to hyaluronidase can occur. We conduct patch testing when clinically indicated to ensure safe treatment. Your practitioner will advise on testing requirements during consultation.
Topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. The area is then cleansed and prepared following clinical protocols.
Hyaluronidase is carefully injected into the areas containing filler. The amount used depends on the volume of filler present and the areas being treated. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes.
Initial breakdown begins within hours, though swelling may temporarily increase lip volume. Visible results develop over 3–7 days as swelling subsides. Full results are typically assessed at 2 weeks when lips have completely settled to their natural state.

Full appointment typically lasts 60 minutes including consultation, preparation, treatment, and aftercare discussion. The injection procedure itself takes 15–30 minutes.
Professional Standards
Hyaluronidase treatment should only be carried out by appropriately qualified medical professionals. As a nurse-led medical aesthetics clinic in Maidstone, we prioritise consultation, informed consent, patch testing where clinically indicated, and full aftercare guidance. Lip filler dissolving has an established role in aesthetic medicine, but like any treatment it carries risks that must be assessed and managed properly.
Prescription-Only Medicine: Hyaluronidase is a prescription medicine that requires medical authorisation and appropriate practitioner qualifications.
Qualified Practitioners: All treatments are performed by NMC registered healthcare professionals with specialist aesthetic training.
Full Consultation: Medical assessment and informed consent process required before treatment.
Emergency Protocols: Trained in recognition and management of adverse events and complications.
As with all medical treatments, there are potential risks and side effects associated with hyaluronidase treatment:
All risks and potential complications are discussed in detail during consultation. We conduct thorough medical assessments and patch testing when appropriate to ensure safe treatment.
While most clients achieve complete filler dissolution in a single treatment session, some cases may require additional hyaluronidase treatment. This can occur when:
If an additional session is required, this is typically performed 2–4 weeks after the initial treatment once swelling has fully resolved and remaining filler can be accurately assessed. The need for additional treatment, if any, will be determined during your follow-up assessment.
Lip filler dissolving is appropriate for individuals who have hyaluronic acid based lip filler they wish to remove or correct. However, treatment is not suitable for everyone.
Individual suitability is determined during consultation through comprehensive medical assessment. We do not proceed with treatment if it is not safe or appropriate for your circumstances.

Comprehensive Care
For some clients, the best outcome comes from dissolving old filler, allowing the lips to settle, and then rebuilding shape more carefully. Our dissolve and refill packages are designed for clients who want correction followed by a more balanced result. Refill treatment is only carried out after an appropriate settling period and clinical reassessment.
Corrective packages include full dissolve treatment, minimum 2-week settling period, and professional refill appointment. Final pricing confirmed during consultation.
FAQ
No. Hyaluronidase works on hyaluronic acid fillers, which are the most common type used in the UK. Permanent or semi-permanent fillers cannot be dissolved in the same way and require different management
Yes. Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve migrated hyaluronic acid lip filler, including filler that has moved above the natural lip border. Whether full or partial dissolving is best depends on your assessment and treatment goals.
A refill is typically considered after around 2 weeks, once swelling has settled and the lips can be reassessed properly. This allows for safer and more accurate planning of any future lip filler
Yes, partial dissolving is possible. This is useful when addressing specific areas of concern such as migration, lumps, or asymmetry, while preserving filler in areas where it has settled well. Your practitioner will discuss the best approach during consultation.
Initial swelling is normal and typically peaks within 24–48 hours. Most swelling subsides within 3–7 days, though complete resolution can take up to 2 weeks. Results are best assessed after this period when lips have fully settled.
When administered by qualified medical professionals, hyaluronidase treatment has an established safety profile. Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme in the body. Potential side effects include swelling, bruising, and in rare cases, allergic reaction. We conduct thorough consultations and patch testing when appropriate to ensure safe treatment.
If the filler is hyaluronic acid based, dissolving is intended to return the lips closer to their natural baseline. Your practitioner will explain what to expect based on your filler history and the amount of product present. The current page states that once the filler is dissolved, the lips return to their pre-filler state
Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. When injected into areas containing HA filler, it accelerates the natural breakdown process, effectively removing the filler within days rather than months. It is a prescription-only medicine that must be administered by qualified practitioners.
