Hyaluronidase Safe for Use Around the Eyes?
I had Juvederm injected around my eyes. My left eye is puffy it looks like I was punched in the eye, I am miserable with the results. I went back to the doctor and complained about what he had done and asked for Hyaluronidase treatment to breakdown the Juvederm. . . He refused saying that Hyaluronidase would cause my cheek to droop or cause damage to my eye!
Is this true or is this doctor trying to cover his mistake? How safe is it to use Hyaluronidase to remove Juvederm around the eyes? Help !!! Please, I really need to correct this and I do not know what my options are. Thank you for your time.

Hyaluronidase (Wydase) works well to dissolve Restylane and Juvederm

Hyalronidase works!
If you want to get the Juvederm out fast..the hyalronaidase works well. Alternatively you could give it time and the Juvederm will dissolve away on its own. I think it is your right as a patient to request the antidote to the Juvederm if you don't like it so you should ask your doctor again..or go to someone who will.

Hyaluronidase your best bet to fix hyaluronic acid filler related bumps around eyelids
Periorbital area is one of the most common place to use hyaluronidase. If you want to be conservative, do a test area on inner forearm and evaluate a couple days afterwards to make sure you do not have any allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

Hyaluronidase OK around the Eyes
Can hyaluronidase be used safely around the eyes? Short answer: Yes Long Answer: Yes it can but it really depends where your doctor placed the Juvederm. Most applications of Juvederm around the eye are in the tear trough area of the eye and to improve the eye cheek interface. It is a common mistake that I see that HA's are placed too close to the lower eyelid creating an unaesthetically pleasing lower eyelid. It is safe to use hyaluronidase around the eyes but it is dependent on the...
