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:
Dissolve
Allow tissue to settle (typically 2 weeks)
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.
