Let’s Talk Filler Fixes: Dissolving + Refilling Explained (Without the Drama)

Okay, so maybe your filler’s feeling a little… funky. Maybe it's migrated, overfilled, or just isn’t giving the snatched look you were hoping for. Don’t stress—it happens, and guess what? There’s a glow-up plan for that. Let’s walk through the magic of dissolving and refilling filler, Velvet Crush style. ✨

First Things First: Why Dissolve?

Filler is amazing, but sometimes things need a reset. Over time, hyaluronic acid filler can shift, lump, or look puffy (especially around areas like the lips or under-eyes). Or maybe it was just too much from the start. Whatever the reason, dissolving lets us start fresh—think of it like a clean makeup wipe for your face.

We use an enzyme called hyaluronidase—which sounds like a spell but works like a charm. It breaks down the old filler, and your body naturally flushes it out. Quick, effective, and kind of satisfying.

Does It Hurt?

Not here, babe! At Velvet Crush, we use a dental block for this procedure—so you’re totally numb and comfy the whole time. No stinging, no flinching, no problem. You’ll feel nothing but relief knowing that fresh, flawless results are just around the corner. 💉✨

What Happens After It’s Gone?

Once the filler dissolves, there’s a little waiting game. We usually recommend giving your skin about 2 weeks to chill before refilling. Why? We want to let any swelling go down, give your body time to heal, and assess your natural contours so we can re-sculpt with total precision.

Then Comes the Refill (a.k.a. the fun part)

Now that we’re working with a blank slate, we can refill strategically and beautifully. Whether you’re going for plump lips, lifted cheeks, or a smooth under-eye—we’ll customize the approach so it’s natural, fresh, and fits your face like a glove.

This time, we’re playing smart. Less product, better placement, and a look that ages like fine wine.

Why We Love This Process

Honestly? It’s empowering. We love helping clients hit reset without judgment. Sometimes fixing old filler opens the door to your best results yet. Your face deserves expert attention, not a patch job.

Bottom Line? Filler doesn’t have to be forever (unless you love it, of course). If you're not vibing with your current look, dissolving and refilling is your redo button—and we’re here for the glow-up every step of the way 💖
