See an Opthalmologic plastic surgeon

Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD answers: What should I do to resolve 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 visit to an opthalmologic plastic surgeon would be warrented.

    While not common, some people are allergic to hyalruonidase. You have not provided photographs, but it is possible that you are one of those people. You might need dilute coricosteroid injections, but I would urge you to let the opthalogic plastic surgeon make that judgment and if need be perform the injections.

    Good luck and I hope this helps.
