Hyaluronidase to Remove Restylane a Year Later?

I had Restylane injections a little over a year ago. I received Hyaluronidase injections to reduce too much of the product. It was removed unevenly and a year later, it is still lumpy and crepey under my eyes. It looks worse in some days (I was told, the product attracts water). Can I still use Hyaluronidase to remove the rest of the product? If not, is there anything else you can suggest? This isn't diminishing on its own.

Lumps under eyes

If you had fillers in the lower lid it can remain for a long time sometimes more than a year.  Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve this product even a year later.

The Restylane is Gone

As much as we and the company would love for Restylane to last a year, it doesn't. It's gone by 6 months at best so the issue you are have is more like due to periorbital fat. If damage to the orbital septum occurred with any of the injections than you could be getting herniation of the fat. But I'm sure the Restylane and hyaluronidase is gone.

I totally disagree with the Fairfax doctoe. I had Restyline injected one time only, a year ago.

It put weird pouches under the bottom of my lips that I certainly never had before. These sacs/pouches are still there now. Sad, because I used to be so pretty. I was told by a doctor recently that these injections can last long after they are technically supposed to last. It's a lie that they only last a year, causing people like me to see no risk in trying/doing it and then it ruining my pretty little face, apparently permanently.
