Dissolving HA Fillers in Lips & Tear Troughs at Blue Iris Medical Aesthetics

At Blue Iris Medical Aesthetics in Parkland, FL, we specialize in achieving natural, balanced results. While hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are safe, effective, and reversible, sometimes results from previous treatments—whether done elsewhere or years ago—need refinement. That’s where hyaluronidase, the HA filler dissolver, comes in.

The most common areas we correct are overfilled or migrated lips and tear trough (under-eye) filler that has become puffy, uneven, or discolored.


What Is HA Filler Dissolving?

Hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA) are made of a sugar molecule naturally found in the body. If needed, they can be safely dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

This allows us to:

  • Correct overfilled areas

  • Fix filler migration

  • Improve asymmetry

  • Reverse poor cosmetic outcomes

  • Address swelling or Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration)

  • Start fresh for a more natural result

One of the benefits of choosing HA fillers in the first place is that they are reversible.

Lip Filler Dissolving

Lip filler is one of the most requested procedures—and also one of the most commonly corrected.

Why Patients Dissolve Lip Filler:

  • Filler migration above the lip line

  • “Duck lip” or shelf appearance

  • Lumps or uneven texture

  • Overfilled or heavy look

  • Desire to return to a natural lip shape

  • Preparing for a refined re-treatment

Over time, filler can migrate beyond the vermillion border, creating a blurred or puffy appearance. At Blue Iris, we carefully assess your anatomy and dissolve only what’s necessary to restore balance and definition.

In many cases, we:

  1. Dissolve

  2. Allow tissue to settle (typically 2 weeks)

  3. Refill conservatively for a natural, beautiful result

Tear Trough (Under-Eye) Filler Dissolving

Under-eye filler is a delicate, highly specialized area. While tear trough filler can beautifully soften hollows, it can also cause issues when placed incorrectly or when too much product is used.

Common Reasons to Dissolve Under-Eye Filler:

  • Persistent puffiness

  • Under-eye bags that look worse

  • Tyndall effect (blue/gray tint)

  • Filler visibility in certain lighting

  • Swelling that never resolves

  • Migration into the upper cheek

The tear trough area has thin skin and complex anatomy. At Blue Iris Medical Aesthetics, we use advanced techniques to gently dissolve excess filler while protecting delicate structures.

Sometimes dissolving improves the area so much that additional filler is no longer needed. In other cases, we may recommend alternative treatments such as:

  • PRF / EZ Gel

  • Biostimulators

  • RF microneedling for skin tightening

What to Expect During the Dissolving Appointment

Consultation First:We evaluate your anatomy, previous filler history, and concerns. Not all puffiness is “bad filler”—sometimes it’s natural fat pads or fluid retention.

Treatment:

  • Small injections of hyaluronidase

  • Mild swelling for 24–48 hours

  • Results often begin within hours

  • Full effect seen within a few days

In some cases, more than one session is needed depending on the amount and type of filler previously used.


Is Dissolving Safe?

When performed by an experienced medical provider, hyaluronidase is safe and effective.


Why Patients Choose Blue Iris for Filler Corrections

Many of our patients come to us after feeling disappointed elsewhere. At Blue Iris Medical Aesthetics, we prioritize:

✔ Conservative, natural results

✔ Advanced facial anatomy knowledge

✔ Personalized treatment plans

✔ Multilingual care (English, Russian, Ukrainian)

✔ A no-judgment approach


Sometimes dissolving filler isn’t a setback—it’s a reset.


Should You Dissolve Your Filler?

You may be a candidate if:

  • Your lips look wider above the border

  • Your under-eyes appear puffy or blue

  • You feel overfilled

  • You want a more natural aesthetic

  • You’re preparing for facial balancing
