Hyaluronidase: Q&A
Ask a Question
Can Hyaluronidase Injections Dissolve Juvederm Several Months Later?
I had Juvederm injected in my laugh lines and under my eyes to fill out the hollows. It was too swollen and the doctor dissolved some of it with enzyme, but she did it unevenly, resulting in unnatural lumpiness and swelling that has still not decreased after 9 months! I am certain it is the product because I never had bags or swelling prior to this procedure. I also have lumps under my smile lines that now appear as jowls. Can these lumps still be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections?

Very likely
Hyaluronidase should definitely work, as would just a well-placed nick into the skin and manual extrusion.
