Overview
The use of dermal fillers is trending for aesthetic enhancement among the new generation’s beauty goals.
But not all fillers are created equal. Permanent fillers, unlike their temporary, hyaluronic-acid-based counterparts, do not naturally dissolve and may lead to complications over time.
If you’re struggling with lumps, facial asymmetry, inflammation, or regret over past filler choices, permanent filler removal surgery in Dubai offers a safe and effective solution.
This page outlines what permanent filler removal entails, the risks of permanent fillers, the benefits of surgical correction, and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

What are Permanent Fillers?
Permanent fillers are synthetic substances designed to stay in the body indefinitely to modify or transform any body part.
The temporary fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (which naturally degrades over time), and permanent fillers such as silicone, polyacrylamide hydrogel, or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) are non-biodegradable.
Risks associated with fillers:
- Chronic inflammation or granuloma formation
- Displacement or migration of the filler
- Irregular facial contours and overfilled features
- Tissue hardening and fibrosis
- Difficulty reversing or correcting unwanted effects

The Procedure: How Permanent Filler Removal Surgery Works
Permanent filler removal is typically done under local anesthesia along with sedation or general anesthesia. It depends on the extent and complexity of the case.
Overview of Steps:
- Consultation & Imaging: A thorough facial assessment using ultrasound or MRI (if needed) helps locate the filler.
- Incision & Dissection: Small, well-placed incisions are made to access the affected tissue.
- Filler Removal: The filler is carefully extracted along with any inflamed or fibrotic tissue.
- Closure & Recovery: The area is sutured, and post-op care begins.
Recovery time varies based on the site and amount of filler removed, but most patients can return to light activities within a week.
What to Expect During Recovery
- Initial Swelling & Bruising: These are normal and typically resolve within 7–10 days.
- Stitch Removal: If non-dissolvable sutures are used, they’re usually removed within a week.
- Follow-Up Care: Multiple appointments may be scheduled to monitor healing and discuss optional touch-ups if needed.
- Final Results: As swelling subsides, the full impact of the procedure becomes visible over the next 4–6 weeks.
You will receive post-op care instructions, including skincare, sun protection, and activity restrictions to enhance healing.
