Understand first, then correct

Correcting hyaluronic acid fillers with Hylase in Berlin

Woman with natural cheek and lip contours wearing a plum-coloured blouseUnderstand first, then correct

If a previous filler treatment no longer feels right, a careful examination is the first step. Hyaluronidase, often called Hylase, can break down hyaluronic acid fillers. During your consultation with me in Berlin, I will establish which material is present, what is causing your symptoms and whether a targeted correction is appropriate.

Key information about hyaluronic acid filler correction. These details explain the duration, recovery and costs to help you plan.

Treatment aim
Break down hyaluronic acid
Details

The aim is a correction with a clear rationale, not repeated dissolving and refilling without good reason.

Active ingredient
Hyaluronidase
Details

The enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid; it does not have the same effect on other filler materials.

Understanding what changes

Dissolving hyaluronic acid fillers precisely
with your tissue in mind

Hyaluronidase accelerates the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. It can affect both the injected gel and the body's own hyaluronic acid. This makes diagnosis, limiting the extent of correction and follow-up assessment essential.

How the treatment works
  1. Examine

    Establish the cause

    The material, injection area and timing are considered alongside the current findings.

  2. Decide

    Limit the breakdown

    A targeted plan also takes account of the body's own hyaluronic acid and the limits of predictability.

  3. Review

    Assess the response

    Further steps depend on progress; immediate treatment with new filler is not automatic.

This explains the principle behind the treatment. A personal examination determines which steps are medically appropriate.
How I plan the treatment

If possible, please bring details of the product used, the amount, the date and the areas treated. I will also ask about previous corrections and allergic reactions. Swelling or a small nodule does not automatically mean overfilling; inflammatory changes must also be considered.

For a purely aesthetic irregularity, observation or a staged correction may be appropriate. The extent to which filler can be broken down cannot be predicted to the exact millimetre. The appearance before the original filler treatment cannot reliably be restored.

Use for aesthetic filler dissolving falls outside the licensed indication. I will explicitly discuss this off-label use and the possible alternatives with you. Acute problems with blood flow following filler treatment, however, require immediate medical care.

Correction requires a clear diagnosis. The visible change depends on the material and the tissue response. Breakdown cannot be entirely predictable.

01 / A closer lookNot every filler can be dissolved

Hyaluronidase is not a universal antidote for Sculptra, Radiesse, silicone or other fillers. If the product is unknown, the material must be identified before an aesthetic correction. Records from the previous treatment can help.

02 / A closer lookAllergies deserve particular attention

Known reactions to hyaluronidase and relevant insect venom allergies should be discussed at the initial consultation. An allergic reaction can be severe. A negative test does not reliably rule out a later reaction.

Is this right for me?

Who the treatment
may be suitable for

Your wishes are the starting point. I assess whether the findings, your health and the expected benefit align.

A possible option

When treatment may be suitable

Unevenness or overcorrection that bothers you and is caused by a known hyaluronic acid gel can be assessed.

What else matters
  • A correction is planned according to the tissue and a realistic goal.
  • You are prepared to wait for swelling to settle and, if necessary, attend several follow-up assessments.
Taking a closer look

What needs to be clarified first

Unknown material, an acute infection or inflammatory nodules first require a careful differential diagnosis.

What else matters
  • Targeted dissolving guarantees neither exact symmetry nor a return to the original appearance.
  • If you experience visual disturbances or signs of abnormal blood flow, you must not wait for a routine consultation.

Different causes need different solutions. Sometimes choosing not to have a procedure is the right decision.

Your treatment journey

Treatment and aftercare
with personal support

  1. 01PreparationAssessing the material and symptoms

    I examine the area, review your treatment history and discuss whether waiting or a different approach would be more appropriate.

    • Bring product information
    • Mention allergies and previous corrections
    • Discuss off-label use and alternatives
  2. 02TreatmentTreating the agreed area

    After the information and consent discussion and preparation, the enzyme is applied in a targeted way. I determine the amount required.

    • Do not self-treat
    • Document the area and extent of treatment
    • Monitor immediate reactions
  3. 03AftercareRe-examining the tissue

    Once the swelling has settled, we review the shape and symptoms together. A further appointment may be needed, but this does not automatically mean further treatment.

    • Arrange a follow-up appointment
    • Report unusual pain or skin changes
    • Only have further fillers after reassessment and planning

Before you leave, we will agree on a direct way to contact me for aftercare. General enquiries: team@dottore.caletti.de.

Your return to everyday life

Recovery and aftercare
with personal support

On the same dayAn early reaction is possible

Swelling and redness may mask the initial result. The agreed guidance on care and activity will help with aftercare.

Over the next few daysMonitoring changes

The breakdown may become visible early on. The final appearance of the area can only be assessed once temporary reactions have subsided.

At the follow-up appointmentConsidering further steps

If any irregularities remain, the cause is reassessed. Repeat treatment and later refilling are separate decisions.

These timeframes are a guide, not a firm promise. Your individual progress may vary.

Talking openly about risks

Risks and limitations
considered together

Even an outpatient treatment can have unwanted effects. Your individual risks, whether treatment is appropriate and an achievable goal all form part of the decision.

Typical effects and reactions

  • Redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising
  • A temporarily uneven appearance
  • More volume loss than initially intended

Possible complications

  • Allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
  • Infection and persistent tissue reactions
  • Incomplete correction or unwanted changes in contour
These warning signs need immediate help

Seek medical help immediately if you experience shortness of breath, circulatory problems or rapidly increasing swelling; call 112 for severe symptoms. Visual disturbances, severe pain or skin discolouration following a filler injection also require urgent assessment.

Discuss costs in person
The price reflects your treatment plan

What affects the cost

  1. Cause and previous treatment

    Unknown filler material or persistent symptoms may require additional diagnostic assessment.

  2. Area and amount of material

    The extent, product and degree of cross-linking affect the clinical work required.

  3. Several sessions

    A staged approach may be appropriate; the starting price does not cover a complete course of treatment.

What your cost plan coversWe clarify these points in advance
  • Medical consultation and examination of the treatment area
  • The agreed procedure with a defined scope of materials and services
  • Local pain relief if required
  • Planned follow-up assessments and personal aftercare guidance

Your individual quotation will specify which services are included in the total amount.

Additional costs & possible reimbursementConsider follow-up appointments too

A course of treatment or a later top-up is not automatically included in the price of one session. Additional diagnostic assessments or corrections are also discussed separately. Clarify any potential reimbursement with your insurer before treatment begins; aesthetic treatments are usually self-funded.

An examination and a shared plan give you clarity on costs. You will receive your personalised cost plan before deciding whether to proceed with treatment.

Frequently asked questions:
Hyaluronic acid filler correction

A website can offer guidance. We will discuss your personal situation during your medical consultation.

Ask your question
01

Does Hylase also dissolve Radiesse or Sculptra?

No. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid. It cannot correct calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid or permanent fillers in the same way.

02

Will I look exactly as I did before?

This cannot be promised. Fillers, time and tissue reactions alter the starting point. The enzyme can also affect the body's own hyaluronic acid.

03

Does every swelling mean the filler should be dissolved?

No. A temporary reaction following a recent injection, inflammation and overcorrection each require different steps. The cause must be assessed first.

04

How soon can the breakdown become visible?

A change may be noticeable early on, sometimes within the first day. A final assessment must wait until swelling has settled and the subsequent progress can be evaluated.

05

Can I have new filler straight away?

Refilling is planned separately, once the tissue has settled sufficiently and the findings are clear. Setting a fixed date or automatically refilling is not appropriate.

06

How much does hyaluronic acid filler correction cost in Berlin?

Costs start from €250 for filler correction per session. The starting price applies to one planned session. Examination, material requirements and any further appointments are itemised in your personalised cost plan. You will receive this plan before making your decision.
