Restore Natural Lips or Make Room for a Refresh

At Oppenheimer Plastic Surgery, we understand that not every aesthetic journey goes as planned. Whether you’re experiencing complications or irregularities with lip filler or feel you need a “reset,” our lip filler dissolver treatments offer a medically sound way to restore or prepare your lips for a better result. Using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, we can break down hyaluronic acid-based fillers gently and effectively.

What Is a Lip Filler Dissolver?

A lip filler dissolver is a non-surgical injection treatment that removes unwanted hyaluronic acid (HA)--based lip fillers, the most common type used for augmentation. An enzyme, hyaluronidase, is injected into the area to safely break down the filler, allowing the body to shed the material naturally.

Why Consider Filler Dissolving?

Dissolving lip filler may be the right choice if:

  • Your lip filler results appear uneven, overfilled, or unnatural
  • You’re experiencing complications like nodules or persistent swelling
  • You’ve had an allergic or vascular reaction to filler
  • You’re preparing for a refined reinjection or switching providers

In many cases, we also dissolve filler to “start fresh” for patients seeking a more balanced or subtle lip appearance.

Why Choose Oppenheimer Plastic Surgery in Orlando?

Board-Certified Expertise

Dr. James Oppenheimer is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial aesthetics and injectable treatment safety. Every filler dissolver procedure is approached with the same precision and care as our most advanced surgical services.

Customized, Honest Care

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team takes the time to understand your history, assess your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most appropriate course of action—whether that’s dissolving, revising, or re-treating.

Focused on Natural Beauty

Our aesthetic philosophy is grounded in enhancing, not altering, your natural features. If a filler hasn’t aligned with your expectations, we’ll help you return to a look that feels authentically you.

Safety-First Protocols

We perform thorough screenings for allergies and adverse reactions, use high-quality hyaluronidase products, and follow strict injection protocols to protect your health and comfort.

Supportive Aesthetic Environment

Whether you’re correcting a complication or simply changing your aesthetic direction, we provide judgment-free, compassionate care throughout your entire treatment experience.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before your procedure, Dr. Oppenheimer, or one of our experienced injectors will assess your lips, discuss your goals, and review any allergies (particularly to bee stings, as hyaluronidase may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals).

During the procedure, a topical numbing agent will be applied to minimize any discomfort. Hyaluronidase is then precisely injected into the areas where the filler is to be dissolved. The process typically takes 10–15 minutes.

After the procedure, patients can expect some minor swelling, redness, or bruising. These effects usually resolve within a few days.

Recovery & Results

  • Downtime: Minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
  • Initial effects: Some filler reduction may be noticeable immediately.
  • Full results: Visible within 3 to 7 days, with full effect by 14 days.
  • Follow-up: Additional sessions may be required in cases where the lips had extensive or longstanding filler.

If you’re planning to get lip filler again after dissolving, we recommend waiting at least two weeks to allow full breakdown and tissue recovery.

Is Lip Filler Dissolver Safe?

Yes. When performed by a qualified provider, lip filler dissolving is a safe and predictable treatment. However, as with any injectable procedure, there are risks to be aware of:

  • Mild discomfort or tenderness
  • Bruising or swelling
  • Temporary skin irregularities
  • Rare allergic reactions (we screen thoroughly for these)

At Oppenheimer Plastic Surgery, all dissolver treatments are conducted with a high level of precision, safety, and aftercare guidance.

Will My Lips Go Back to Normal?

Yes—hyaluronidase dissolves only the hyaluronic acid-based filler, which allows your lips to return to their natural volume and shape. In some cases, your body may briefly lose some of its naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, leading to mild thinning or dryness. This typically resolves over time as your body replenishes its supply.
