Celebrities might have access to the best doctors and aestheticians, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel regret<\/a>. And under the societal pressure to maintain a more sculpted or youthful appearance, some can end up with an overfilled look or just get filler that they don’t actually need. In recent years, more and more celebrities have opened up about getting their facial filler dissolved, which is typically done using hyaluronidase (and possible only with hyaluronic acid–based dermal fillers<\/a>).<\/p>

For the unfamiliar, hyaluronidase<\/a> is “an enzyme that breaks the bonds connecting the polysaccharide segments,” says New Orleans board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mary Lupo<\/a>. Essentially, it helps your body break down the filler more quickly. While the hyaluronidase breaks the bonds immediately, it takes about two weeks for the effect to really become noticeable, she says.<\/p>

That said, it’s far easier to add filler than to subtract it, which is why it’s best not to overdo injectables in the first place. For one, skin doesn’t necessarily look the same after the filler is dissolved. “I have seen the skin look crepey after the overinjected area is dissolved,” says Dr. Lupo. (In that case, a skin-tightening treatment<\/a> might be necessary.)<\/p>

Your skin can also appear deflated, depending on how much filler was injected and then dissolved, but this tends to be temporary, says Dr. Lupo; in most cases, skin returns to normal over time. It’s also possible to have an allergy to hyaluronidase, which can result in itching and swelling, and the treatment for this is notoriously painful.<\/p>

Still, the process is worth it to celebrities who’ve wanted to restore their natural appearance. Here, those who’ve done just that.<\/p>
