Dissolving Restylane - How Long to Wait to Get Hyaluronidase Injections?

Hi nz in DC, Oops, sounds like a little too much filler under your eyes.  It is safe to use Hyaluronidase to dissolve the excess Restylane at this time.  In fact, it can be used any time, but we usually wait a few days until the injection area has stabilized.  Good luck and be well. Dr. P

It does not need time to settle etc. Just be sure you are seeing someone experienced in fillers as it is equally important to know how to fix a problem as it is to know how to avoid it in the first place.
