Not every filler settles the way you hoped. Sometimes the result looks uneven, too full, or simply not like you. In other cases, older filler can migrate over time, creating puffiness or shadows that don’t belong.
Hylenex—a safe, targeted enzyme—can dissolve unwanted hyaluronic acid filler and reset the area so it can return to its natural shape. Whether you want to correct an older treatment or create a blank canvas for future treatments, filler dissolving creates space for results that feel right.
Filler dissolving at Jewels x Aesthetics in Parkland, Florida, is performed by Julie Lorenzo, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Julie helps set realistic expectations and focuses on long-term facial harmony rather than quick fixes.
What Is Hylenex?
Hylenex is a form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. Because most modern fillers are HA-based, Hylenex can dissolve them safely and effectively.
Hylenex can be used to:
- Correct filler migration
- Reduce overfilled areas
- Smooth irregularities or bumps
- Remove poorly placed filler from previous providers
- Prepare the area for a more natural, balanced treatment
The goal is not always to remove all filler. Sometimes only partial dissolving is needed to restore shape or symmetry.
When Dissolving Is Recommended
Julie may recommend filler dissolving if:
- The filler looks unnatural or too heavy
- There is asymmetry or unevenness
- The product has migrated over time (common in the lips or under-eyes)
- The area requires a clean slate before re-treatment
- You prefer a more subtle or natural look
Dissolving filler can feel like a big step, but for many patients, it is the beginning of a more harmonious, authentic outcome.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation. Julie examines the treated area, reviews your filler history when possible, and explains whether full dissolving or selective dissolving is needed.
During the treatment:
- A small amount of Hylenex is injected into the areas with unwanted filler
- The enzyme begins breaking down the filler almost immediately
- Some patients feel mild stinging, which fades quickly
Depending on the amount and type of filler present, results may be visible within minutes to a few days.
Recovery and Results
Recovery is minimal. Temporary swelling or redness may occur, especially in delicate areas like the lips or under-eyes.
Timeline:
- Immediately: Filler begins to break down
- 24–48 hours: Most swelling resolves
- 1–2 weeks: The area stabilizes for reassessment or retreatment
Many patients choose to dissolve and re-treat after the area has settled, while others simply prefer the natural look without additional filler.
Can You Refill the Area After Dissolving?
Yes—once the area fully settles, Julie can rebuild the structure with a more natural, intentional approach. Dissolving first allows her to work cleanly and precisely, avoiding the compounded effects of years of layered filler.
Common areas that benefit from dissolving before refinement include:
- Lips
- Under-eyes
- Chin
- Smile lines
- Cheeks
The goal is to replace past filler with results that better fit your current anatomy and aesthetic goals.
