Patients may request dissolving because of unwanted shape, excessive volume, lumps or complications.
Can lip filler be dissolved?
Many hyaluronic-acid fillers can be broken down with hyaluronidase, but the decision, amount and treatment strategy require clinical assessment.
What should be confirmed first?
- Filler type
- Treatment history
- Amount previously injected
- Reason for dissolving
- Signs of complication
Can filler be partially dissolved?
Clinical strategies vary; response can be difficult to predict with absolute precision.
Hyaluronidase has its own risks and should be used by appropriately qualified clinicians.
Questions to ask at your consultation
- Is my filler hyaluronic acid?
- Why is dissolving being recommended?
- Will more than one session be needed?
- When could future filler be reconsidered?

Frequently asked
What are ultrathin veneers?
Ultrathin veneers are thin ceramic restorations designed to improve tooth shape, proportion and shade while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Their suitability depends on the position, colour and condition of the natural teeth.
Are ultrathin veneers the same as no-prep veneers?
No. Ultrathin describes the thickness of the ceramic restoration, while no-prep describes whether the natural tooth is reduced before bonding. Some ultrathin veneer cases may still require limited preparation.
How thin can veneers be?
Veneer thickness varies according to the ceramic system, tooth position, required colour correction and bite. In selected areas modern ceramic restorations may be fabricated very thin, but the clinically appropriate thickness is determined case by case.
Do ultrathin veneers require shaving teeth?
Not always. Some favourable cases may need little or no preparation, while prominent, rotated, dark or irregular teeth may require controlled enamel adjustment to create space and avoid a bulky result.
Can ultrathin veneers look natural?
Yes, when shape, shade, translucency, surface texture and tooth proportions are planned correctly. Natural-looking results depend on both the ceramic design and the condition of the underlying tooth.
Are ultrathin veneers suitable for dark teeth?
Significant discolouration can be more difficult to mask with very thin ceramic because greater translucency may allow the underlying shade to show through. Material choice, thickness and preparation must therefore be planned individually.
Are ultrathin veneers strong?
Ceramic veneers can be durable when properly designed, bonded and protected from excessive forces. Their long-term performance depends on material selection, bite, bonding quality and habits such as grinding.
How do I know if I am suitable for ultrathin veneers?
A dentist should assess your tooth position, enamel, bite, gums, colour, existing restorations and aesthetic goals before deciding whether ultrathin, minimal-prep or another veneer approach is appropriate.
