Hyaluronidase = Restylane Reversal

Anil R. Shah, MD answers: Lips uneven or too big after Restylane lips?

I had lip augmentation (Restylane) 4 weeks ago and now have this "ducky" look in my upper lip. I know that restylane can last for up to 6 months. I definitely don't want to walk around looking this way for such a long time. Is there any way to improve the look of my upper lip? I massage it every day using a massager with heat and cold. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.

Hyaluronidase is a material which breaks up Restylane and other injectable fillers with Hyaluronic Acid. The material has been well studied and within 24 hours most of the material will be dissolved if performed correctly. Caution that it can cause bruising more easily than the filler and can sting a bit.
