Should I Have More Hyaluronidase?

I had Juvederm injected in my tear troughs last August and my right eye reacted very badly. I had severe bruising and swelling for 6 weeks and when the area finally calmed down, was left with the tyndell effect and bags from the product.

I have had six lots of hyaluronidase since then (last lot in January), but still have swelling and discolouration. I suffer very badly from hayfever and am finding that my sinus pain is worse in the area which still has product. Shall I have more hyaluronidase?

Juvederm and Hyaluronidase
