Filler removal
Filler removal can be considered for migration or if you want a change. Migration, where the filler has moved over time, is a phenomenon that can occur. The most common form of migration is usually seen after overtreatment of the lips.
Filler removal
Filler removal can be considered for migration or if you want a change. Migration, where the filler has moved over time, is a phenomenon that can occur. The most common form of migration is usually seen after overtreatment of the lips. For you to get the result you want, it will in some cases be necessary to remove old filler before carrying out a new filler treatment. With us you get safe and effective removal of filler with the market's most precise products – adapted to your needs and wishes. The result develops over a few days, and swelling can affect how it looks at first.
Relevant for:
✔ Removal of overfilled areas in the face/lips
✔ Correct asymmetry or unevenness/lumps after previous treatments
✔ Start afresh before a new filler treatment
Tailored treatment with Total Corrector and Partial Corrector
We use advanced products from PBSerum with active enzymes for safe and effective removal of hyaluronic acid fillers:
- Total Corrector – for you who want complete removal.
- Partial Corrector – for you who want to adjust small irregularities or migration without losing all the volume.
Possible side effects of filler removal
As with all injection treatments, some side effects may occur. These are usually mild and temporary.
Common and temporary side effects include:
- Swelling: A natural reaction after the injection that usually subsides within a few hours to days.
- Redness
- Tenderness or discomfort: Slight tenderness in the area is normal and usually passes quickly.
- Bruising
- Temporary under-correction: In some cases several treatments may be needed to achieve the desired result, especially in more severe cases of migration/lumps/unevenness.
Less common side effects may be:
- Allergic reaction: This is very rare, but possible. We always take this into account in the consultation before any treatment.
We give you thorough information before the treatment and follow you up afterwards to ensure a safe and good experience. Book a no-obligation consultation today if this is something we can help you with.

Frequently asked questions
Migrated filler in the lips or face is a growing problem, and every day distressed patients come to us who want to do something about it.
Migrated means that the product has moved from the area where it was originally placed. Filler should be injected at different depths in the skin, and if you inject it in the wrong layer, or use filler that is too thick in soft tissue such as the lips, for example, complications can occur.
This can be removed with an enzyme that breaks down filler that has moved. We only use hyaluronidase (enzyme) of bacterial origin. Many people use the word hylase for the treatment. Previously, the only product used in Norway has been hyaluronidase produced from animal origin. This increases the chance of anaphylactic shock and allergic reactions, because the enzymes are not free of additives, unlike the one we use.
The enzymes injected into the area break down the bonds in the hyaluronic acid, so that it disappears from the area. It takes about 60 minutes (depending on the thickness of the filler) before 50% has broken down, and a further 14 days before everything is broken down. In some cases several treatments are necessary.
In our clinic we often use a hyaluronidase that has a 10 times higher concentration than the one that was previously on the market on its own, so one removal round is usually enough. It is recommended that the tissue is given a couple of weeks to rest before new filler is injected.
There is a risk of allergic reaction with this procedure, especially for those who have a wasp allergy, although our product has a significantly lower chance of this.
A filler treatment takes anything from 30-60 minutes, depending on the area and amount.
This is very individual. Before the appointment you will be given a numbing cream that numbs the lips somewhat. In addition, the filler itself contains anaesthetic. Generally few people report pain from the treatment, but it is normal to feel some discomfort.
Common side effects that may occur: * slight swelling * Redness around the injection site * bruising or soreness * mild itching or discomfort unusual side effects: * asymmetry in the result * uneven texture in the skin * temporary discolouration * The product may move from the injection site .
Rare but serious side effects: * allergic reactions * infections at the injection site * scarring or lumps * tissue death due to intravascular injection, which in the worst case can lead to blindness. This has only happened a few times worldwide, but it is important to inform about this.
It is important to note that the most common side effects are usually mild and temporary. It is recommended to consult an experienced medical professional before undergoing such a treatment and to follow their advice to minimise the risk of side effects. If you experience unexpected reactions, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.
People who are not recommended to have this treatment: * pregnant or breastfeeding women * People with active skin infections or herpes outbreaks in the treatment area * People with severe allergic reactions, especially to hyaluronic acid or similar substances * people with autoimmune disease or serious medical * people who take medicines that affect the blood
