So while the body naturally breaks them down over time, there is a way to speed up the process: Injections of hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase is what the body produces naturally to break down fillers, so by injecting more, it allows the lips to regain natural shape quicker, usually going down within 3-4 days.
You cannot dissolve lip fillers at home. Only licensed medical professionals can administer the enzyme hyaluronidase. However, you can wait for your dermal fillers to dissolve on their own.
Dissolve filler with Hyalase (Hyaluronidase) Hyalase is an enzyme that dissolves HA fillers. It can be used to correct poor aesthetic outcomes, lumpy results and is also the first line treatment in a vascular complication due to filler emergency (see Vascular complications below).
Answer: Dissolving fillers without hyaluronidase.
Fillers can be partially reduced with some lasers, such as Fraxel, if they are used within 1-2 months of having the filler treatment. This doesn't always work but might help.
In case of complications after the use of hyaluronic acid, the use of hyaluronidase is very helpful, as it dissolves the excess filler. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that can break down filler molecules.

Don't get a facial, massage, or microdermabrasion
While massage can sometimes improve mild symptoms such as moderate lumpiness or slight asymmetry, don't perform massage on your fillers unless instructed to do so by your plastic surgeon or injector.
Topilase®: a safer alternative to hyaluronidase
Despite its considerable effectiveness, some patients experience an allergic reaction triggered by ingredients of animal origin.
Conclusion: In this study, sodium bicarbonate buffered 2% lidocaine was found to be a safe and effective local anaesthetic, with reduced time of onset, and improved quality of both anaesthesia and akinesia. Sodium bicarbonate (7.5%) may be used as an alternative to hyaluronidase in ocular anaesthesia.
If the filler is in a location further away from direct blood flow than other locations, then this means that cells that secrete hyaluronidase will not be able to reach the hyaluronic acid gel, and will therefore be unable to dissolve it.
Intense heat on the skin can make your filler break down more quickly or produce less effective results. Ideally, you should avoid exposure to intense heat for at least 12 to 24 hours after your appointment.
The filler will start to break down and soften immediately, although depending on the location and how much needs to be dissolved, it may take up to two weeks for it to completely dissolve and settle back to natural.
Answer: Dissolving Juvederm can be done at anytime, but usually wait at least a week after injection. Using hyaluronidase to dissolve Juvederm can be done at anytime. The results of a treatment take about 7-10 days to fully appreciate because Juvederm tends to spread a little.
If you're big into exercise, your fillers may metabolize faster than those with a more sedentary lifestyle. This shouldn't deter you from an active life or lip fillers though. Dermal fillers dissolve as your body metabolizes them, so patients with an increased metabolism may notice their fillers disappearing sooner.
Answer: Filler Can be Dissolved after 1 Year
Yes, your filler can be dissolved if it lasts longer than 1 year, but it needs to be a hyaluronic acid filler. Hyaluronic Acid based filler can be dissolved at anytime with Hyaluronidase.
Because dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring skin compound, they are naturally dissolved by your body over a period of 6 – 18 months. This process uses a compound called hyaluronidase.
Hyaluronidase, which is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, has been used in medical applications for over 60 years.
Our skin and tissues are not broken down by injected hyaluronidase, however. Because our natural hyaluronic acid is turned over constantly by naturally occurring hyaluronidase, the effect of injected hyaluronidase on our body's natural hyaluronic acid is temporary.
A published journal article states that higher doses [of hy'dase] can lead to damage of native extracellular matrix glycosaminoclycans, leaving a gaunt appearance with poor skin texture (Figure 4). Patients are increasingly presenting with hyaluronidase-related damage, which is often untreatable.
After a hyaluronidase injection, the skin will typically restore its hyaluronic acid levels within a few days or, in rare cases, over the course of a few weeks.
Can all fillers be dissolved? Fillers with silicone (which are sometimes used in the lips and face, cannot be dissolved). Other semi-permanent fillers such as Scultpra and Radiesse also can't be dissolved. But temporary fillers, such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers can easily be dissolved.
Saline will not dissolve the filler. Hyaluronidase is extremely safe. See a doctor experienced with these treatments and you should not a problem.
Generally, any lumps or bumps that appear after fillers will disappear on their own within one to two weeks. Give the treatment a couple of weeks to improve, applying ice regularly.
Delayed-onset nodules occur in 0.5% of HA filler treatments, typically four weeks to over one-year post-treatment. These nodules are believed to occur due to either delayed onset inflammation or bacterial biofilms. Often, these nodules have preceding infectious or immune triggers.
