Filler Dissolving Prices 2026
Filler dissolving (hyaluronidase) prices in 2026 start at 5,000 TL. It is an enzyme-based procedure that safely dissolves unwanted or complicated hyaluronic acid fillers.
What Is Filler Dissolving?
Filler dissolving is a procedure in which hyaluronidase enzyme is injected into the area of unwanted or complicated hyaluronic acid filler to dissolve it in a controlled manner. Hyaluronidase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid molecules, enabling the filler to be rapidly absorbed by the body.
The procedure is completed in 15-20 minutes through injection into the target area using a fine needle. The enzyme begins working immediately and filler dissolution is generally complete within 24-48 hours. Filler dissolving only affects hyaluronic acid-based fillers; it is ineffective on permanent fillers or biostimulatory agents.
How Does Hyaluronidase Work?
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that occurs naturally in the human body. Its medical formulation, when injected, breaks the chemical bonds of hyaluronic acid molecules, causing them to fragment. The fragmented hyaluronic acid is then absorbed and eliminated by the body through natural metabolic processes.
When Is It Indicated?
- Asymmetry: Correction of symmetry irregularities arising after filler treatment
- Excessive volume: Correction of areas where too much filler has been administered
- Undesirable appearance: An unnatural look resulting from filler treatment
- Filler migration: Movement of filler away from the injection site
- Nodule formation: Development of firm lumps beneath the filler
- Vascular compromise (EMERGENCY): Applied as an emergency intervention when filler occludes a blood vessel. This situation requires immediate treatment to prevent the risk of tissue necrosis.
Emergency Intervention: Vascular Compromise
During filler injection, although rare, a situation may develop where hyaluronic acid filler occludes a blood vessel (vascular occlusion). This is a serious complication that, if left untreated, can lead to tissue death (necrosis) and even vision loss.
At Virtuana Clinic, hyaluronidase enzyme is kept readily available as an emergency kit during all filler procedures. When signs of vascular compromise (blanching, livid discolouration, severe pain) are identified, hyaluronidase is immediately injected to resolve the vascular occlusion.
Factors Affecting the Price
- Amount of Filler to Be Dissolved: There is a difference in cost between dissolving a small amount of filler and dissolving dense filler across a larger area, due to varying enzyme quantities required.
- Number of Areas: A price difference may apply between treating a single area versus multiple areas.
- Number of Sessions: In some cases, a second session may be necessary for complete dissolution.
- Emergency Intervention: Emergency dissolution performed due to vascular compromise is assessed separately.
- Practitioner: The experience and complication management expertise of the specialist physician affects the price.
Filler Dissolving vs. Other Correction Methods
| Method | Price (2026) | Duration of Effect | Recovery | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Filler Dissolving (Hyaluronidase) | 5,000 TL | Permanent (dissolves filler) | 1-2 days | 24-48 hours |
| Natural Absorption (Waiting) | Free | - | - | 6-18 months |
| Corrective Filler | 3,000 – 5,500 TL | 8-18 months | 1-5 days | Immediate |
| Surgical Intervention | 10,000+ TL | Permanent | 1-4 weeks | 1-3 months |
How Is Filler Dissolving Performed?
- Examination and Assessment: The physician evaluates the filler area to be dissolved, confirms the filler type (hyaluronic acid), and develops a treatment plan.
- Allergy Test (If Required): In some patients, a small test dose may be administered due to the risk of hyaluronidase allergy.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed with antiseptic solution. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied if necessary.
- Injection: Hyaluronidase enzyme is injected into the filler area using a fine needle. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes.
- Observation: The area is checked after injection and the patient is briefly monitored for any allergic reaction.
- Follow-Up: Results are assessed after 48 hours. A second session is scheduled 2 weeks later if required.
Who Is Filler Dissolving Suitable For?
Filler dissolving is a corrective procedure for individuals who have experienced undesirable outcomes or complications following hyaluronic acid-based filler treatment. It is particularly recommended in the following situations:
- Patients with post-filler asymmetry or excessive volume
- Patients experiencing filler migration
- Individuals who feel nodules or lumps beneath the filler
- Individuals dissatisfied with their filler result who wish to return to their previous appearance
- Patients who develop vascular compromise (emergency intervention)
Who is it not suitable for: Caution should be exercised in individuals with hyaluronidase allergy or bee sting allergy. Permanent fillers (silicone, etc.) and biostimulatory agents (Sculptra, Radiesse) cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does filler dissolving cost in 2026?
Filler dissolving (hyaluronidase) prices in 2026 start at 5,000 TL. The final price may vary depending on the amount of filler to be dissolved, the number of treatment areas, and the number of sessions required.
Is filler dissolving painful?
Filler dissolving is performed with a fine needle and is generally painless aside from a slight stinging sensation. A topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area beforehand if desired.
How quickly does filler dissolving take effect?
The hyaluronidase enzyme begins working rapidly after injection. Filler dissolution is generally complete within 24-48 hours. In some cases, it may take up to 2 weeks to see the final result.
In which situations is filler dissolving performed?
Filler dissolving is performed in cases of post-filler asymmetry, excessive volume, undesirable appearance, filler migration, nodule formation, and vascular compromise (vessel occlusion). In cases of vascular compromise, it is used as an emergency intervention.
Is filler dissolving permanent?
Yes, filler dissolving is permanent. The hyaluronidase enzyme completely breaks down and dissolves the hyaluronic acid filler. The dissolved filler does not return. However, new filler can be applied later if desired.
Can I get filler again after filler dissolving?
Yes, you can have filler re-injected after filler dissolving. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after the dissolution procedure. This period is necessary for the tissue to fully heal and for the hyaluronidase enzyme to be completely metabolised.
