Pillow face correction at IN Eternity Clinic — for those left over-filled or with a sunken face elsewhere. Dr Sin Yong dissolves and rebalances dermal filler to restore natural, youthful proportion, as Medical Director.
Pillow face occurs when filler has been over-placed — either too much volume in total, placement in the wrong anatomical planes, or filler in locations that create an unnatural appearance. Cheeks that look artificially protruberant, lateral cheek bulging, loss of natural skeletal definition, and an overall 'puffy' look are characteristic. This can result from a single over-treated session or from accumulation of filler over multiple sessions without allowing previous product to metabolise.
The first step in addressing pillow face is dissolution of the excess or misplaced HA filler using hyaluronidase enzyme. Dr Sin Yong assesses the distribution of filler using clinical examination and planning, then dissolves selectively — targeting the areas contributing most to the unnatural appearance while preserving areas where volume is appropriate. After dissolution and a period of healing, natural proportions are reassessed and refinement filler can be placed if desired.
Dissolve over-placed cheek filler that creates an overly protruberant, unnatural or 'apple cheek' appearance.
Address filler that has migrated laterally or been placed in the lateral cheek, creating bulging or distortion of the facial oval.
Dissolve overfilled or misplaced under-eye filler that causes puffiness, bluish discolouration or exacerbation of hollowing.
When excess filler obscures the natural bone structure of the cheeks, jaw and temples, dissolution restores the natural skeleton.
Address filler that has accumulated over many sessions across multiple providers, creating an unnatural total volume.
Dissolve filler that has migrated from its original placement site, creating bulging or asymmetry.
Dr Sin Yong performs a comprehensive assessment of filler distribution, quantity and impact on facial aesthetics. Pre-treatment photography establishes baseline.
A selective dissolution plan identifies areas to dissolve and areas to preserve. Hyaluronidase is diluted and placed precisely at target locations.
Hyaluronidase is injected at planned sites. Dissolution occurs over 24–72 hours. Multiple sessions may be needed for heavy filler loads.
At 2–4 weeks, Dr Sin Yong reassesses the natural face after dissolution. If refinement filler is desired, a new placement plan is designed based on natural proportions.
Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers only. Non-HA fillers (Radiesse, Sculptra, Ellanse, Juvederm Voluma if not HA-based) cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Dr Sin Yong assesses the likely composition of your filler at consultation.
Mild overfilling may resolve with a single session. Heavy filler loads accumulated over many sessions typically require 2–3 rounds of hyaluronidase, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to fully dissolve.
You will look like your natural self — which may feel unfamiliar if you have had filler for a long time. Some patients experience a brief period of apparent hollowing before natural tissue rehydrates. Dr Sin Yong prepares you for this at consultation.
Dr Sin Yong recommends waiting a minimum of 4–6 weeks after full dissolution before placing any new filler. This allows proper reassessment of natural proportions and ensures hyaluronidase is fully metabolised.
Yes. Working with an experienced injector who uses restraint, anatomical knowledge and a philosophy of less-is-more prevents overfilling. Dr Sin Yong's approach emphasises natural results and conservative volume placement.
Patients who have experienced pillow face frequently discover that structural lifting — rather than additional volume — is what their face actually needs. Dr Sin Yong's two proprietary lifting protocols deliver structural rejuvenation that reduces reliance on filler over time.
