Dr. Young

Adjust or Reverse Filler with Confidence

Dermal fillers can create beautiful, natural-looking results when placed correctly. However, filler may sometimes appear overdone, uneven, misplaced, or no longer aligned with your aesthetic goals.

Hylenex offers a way to safely dissolve hyaluronic acid-based fillers, including many commonly used lip fillers. At Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery, lip filler dissolving in Bellevue is approached with precision and restraint, focusing on restoring balance rather than overcorrecting.

Hylenex Overview

What Is Hylenex?

Hylenex is an injectable form of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. Since many popular fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, Hylenex can be used to dissolve or adjust those fillers when needed.

This treatment is commonly used for lip filler dissolving, correction of uneven filler, overfilled areas, lumps, migration, or filler that no longer looks natural. It can also be used before re-treating an area to create a cleaner, more balanced foundation. Hylenex does not dissolve all types of fillers. It is specifically used for hyaluronic acid fillers, such as many products in the Juvéderm and Restylane families.

The Benefits of Hylenex

Filler Reversal: Hylenex can dissolve hyaluronic acid filler when results are no longer desired or need correction.
Improved Lip Filler Balance: It can refine or reverse lip filler that appears migrated, uneven, overfilled, or unnatural.
Customizable Correction: Treatment can be used to dissolve a small amount of filler or for a more complete correction, depending on your needs.
Fast-Acting Results: Many patients notice improvement quickly, with continued changes over the following days.
Cleaner Future Filler Results: Dissolving old or poorly placed filler can create a better foundation for future treatment.
Non-Surgical Treatment: Hylenex allows filler correction without surgery or significant downtime.

Am I a Candidate for Hylenex?

Hylenex in Bellevue may be appropriate if you have hyaluronic acid filler that looks overdone, uneven, migrated, or no longer fits your goals. It is especially helpful for patients seeking lip filler dissolving when the lips look too full, lack definition, or have filler that has spread beyond the natural lip border. You may also be a candidate if you want to dissolve old filler before starting fresh with a more balanced treatment plan. During your consultation, we evaluate the area, review what type of filler was used, if known, and determine whether Hylenex is the right option. Patients should let us know about allergies, prior reactions, current medications, and any history of sensitivity to injectable products.

Schedule A Consultation

The Hylenex ProcessWhat to Expect

Consultation and Filler Assessment

We evaluate the treated area, discuss your concerns, and determine whether the filler is likely hyaluronic acid-based.

Personalized Dissolving Plan

The amount and placement of Hylenex are carefully planned based on whether you need subtle refinement or more complete dissolving.

Treatment Session

Hylenex is injected into the targeted area using precise placement to break down unwanted filler.

Follow-Up and Retreatment Planning

If needed, additional dissolving or future filler treatment may be planned once the area has settled.

Your Hylenex Results

Hylenex can begin working quickly, and many patients notice softening or a reduction in filler within the first 24 to 48 hours. The full effect may continue to develop over several days as the filler breaks down and the area settles.

There is minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising can occur at the injection sites, but these effects are usually temporary. In areas like the lips, swelling may briefly make the area look fuller before it begins to decrease. If your goal is to refill the area, it is usually best to wait until the tissue has settled before placing new filler. This allows for more accurate planning and a cleaner, more natural result.

Why Choose Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery?

Precise Filler Correction: Hylenex treatment requires careful dosing and placement to avoid overcorrection and restore natural balance.
Experience with Lip Filler Dissolving: Lip filler dissolving in Bellevue requires special attention to shape, border definition, symmetry, and natural movement.
Balanced Aesthetic Planning: Dr. Young’s proportion-driven approach helps determine whether filler should be adjusted, fully dissolved, or re-treated later.
Conservative, Patient-Centered Care: The goal is to restore a natural appearance while giving you control over your next steps.
