Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase) in Myeongdong, Seoul
Filler that has migrated, looks lumpy or simply no longer suits you can be dissolved. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid filler so you can start again from a clean slate.
Quick answer
Filler dissolving uses hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. It is injected precisely into the unwanted filler and works within about 24–48 hours; stubborn or dense filler may need a second session. It treats overfilling, migration, lumps and a bluish tint, and is the emergency treatment for blocked blood flow. It does not dissolve non-HA fillers such as CaHA. Wait about two weeks before refilling.
When is filler dissolved?
Common reasons are lips or under-eyes that look puffy, filler that has spread beyond where it was placed, small lumps, a bluish tint under thin skin, or a change of taste. Our doctors first confirm what is HA filler, ideally with your previous treatment details, and sometimes use ultrasound-guided assessment where needed.
Who is it for?
- Overfilled, migrated or lumpy HA filler.
- People who want to restart with a more natural plan.
- Not for CaHA, PLLA or permanent fillers, which hyaluronidase cannot dissolve.
- Tell us about bee or wasp sting allergies; a small test may be done first.
How Obliv plans filler dissolving
Your doctor examines the area, asks what product and how much was used, and decides the dose and points. Dissolving is targeted, so surrounding natural tissue is affected as little as possible.

|---|---|
