I had Restylane Filler injected 4 Month Ago in my Tear Trough Area.I wanted to remove it because it didn't look Good.I went to another Doctor to have him Remove it.The doctor said it will not Dissolve good Tissue.When a Doctor uses Hyaluronidase do they use the full Strenght or do they Dilute it. Because now i notice one side where it was injected it looks like tissue under the skin has been Dissolve. But the other side looks ok. THANKS

Hyaluronidase and native tissue
The answer to your question is that hyaluronidase does not typically dissolve enough of your native hyaluronic acid (HA) to show as a depression at the strength and concentration we use.
Think of it this way. HA as a filler is injected in a bolus, or larger but discrete deposit that sits outside of the cells of our body. When HA'ase is injected to dissolve this, the total dose and concentration are chosen to provide enough drug to access and rapidly dissolve...

Hyaluronidase for dissolving Restylane or Juvederm
Oculoplastic surgeons and plastic surgeons have used hyaluronidase in local anesthetic for eyelid skin for years and I am not aware of reports of damage to normal tissue. In medicine it is difficult to discuss issues with absolutes and it is possible, although we have no clinical studies indicating that hyaluronidase affects normal tissue, that possibly it did with you. See your doctor and consider placing more filler in the area that now looks dissolved.
