Does HA filler really dissolve?

Question

Doctors I had received under eye injections as well as cheek injections with restylane lyft and regular Restylane.. I ABSOLUTELY hated my injections from day one, I’ve had a tad dissolved but I still have quite a lot of filler left! My questions is does the filler actually dissolve? I keep reading how some people go yrs with the filler and it still hasn’t dissolved.. should I be concerned with this? What are the risks of my filler being encapsulated?

Hyaluronic Acid based fillers do dissolve in their own overtime, if you don't like what you see you can get them dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Hi lelebugs! If you feel that the filler has not fully dissolve, you may need more Hyaluronidase. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

HA (hyaluronic acid) fillers will all dissolve on their own over time.  It is also possible to dissolve HA fillers with an injection of hyaluronidase.  In my experience, I have not had a patient where the HA filler could not be dissolved with hyaluronidase.  The dose of hyaluronidase used can influence the results though.  It is possible that you just need more hyaluronidase to dissolve more of your HA filler.

Hello. Thank you for your question. HA fillers can absolutely be dissolved. Unless you had Radiesse or Belatero injected, you should not have a problem getting it dissolved.

You should be confident that these will dissolve. Under eyes might last longer then cheeks or lips but we are still talking about lasting average of a year under eyes. Encapsulation is very rare , I thankfully have never seen it.
