Hyaluronidase to Dissolve Restylane on my Nose?

Recently I had restylane injected to my nose for about 0.5 cc and I extremely hate it. I don't want anything but having the old one back. I really miss it. Would it be okay to my nose if I do the hyaluronidase thing? I have heard about it but not sure. Can anyone please help clarify the work of hyaluronidase thing to me and some effects that I might get? I'd kill for this to be over. thank you.

A: Hyaluronidase will work

If your result is due to the Restylane and not swelling,Wydase Will work. It is very simple and will take 24 hours to see the result.It will dissolve all of the Restylane. It will take 50-100 units.

How Long Does It Take for Hyaluronidase to Work?

How long does it take for the hyaluronidase to dissolve the hyaluronic acid based filler?

A: Hyaluronidase works almost instantly

The effects of hyaluronidase on hyaluronic acid can be seen almost instantly.  Maximum results are achieved in approximately 2-3 days.  This is a great treatment to remove unwanted filler.

Hyaluronidase Side Effects

What should I do to resolve the puffiness and swelling in the lower eyelids? Will it resolve over time? If so, how long should I expect to wait? Or has the hyaluronidase done irreversible damage to the tissue of my lower eyelids and the edema is therefore permanent? There is not much information about hyaluronidase on the internet. I look ghastly. Please help.

A: It could be from the original problem

When hyaluronic acid fillers are over-injected, or injected into the incorrect plane, the tissues can swell even after the material is dissolved by hyaluronidase. Allergic reaction is also possible, especially if compounded hyaluronidase was use instead of Vitrase. If you are sleeping on your face or have a high sodium diet, this could increase the problem, so sleep on 2-3 pillows.

I doubt the problem is permanent, but an evaluation by an oculoplastic surgeon would be reasonable to get it checked out.
