Hyaluronidase: Q&A

How Persistent is Restylane in Staying Around? Other than Hyaluronidase Could Fraxel, Steroids, Massage, etc. Help?
In 09, got yucky 1.5 cc/under eye of Restylane, 18 mos after single injection, my right undereye retained a walnut-sized silver lump, lifting dark veins/muscles when I'd smile. Even months after Hyaluronidase--R still comparatively darker/convex--my GP thought I was punched! Restylane's cust # was useless. What might interfere w/reabsorbtion? Why only 1 spot? More HYASE might cause hollows, so I thought I'd wait. What is max known persistence? Could Fraxel/Laser/Steroids/Massage/Creams help?

Hello, Hyaluronic acid fillers in the wrong place seem to persist for years!
Hyaluronidase injection by someone who knows what they are doing is the treatment of choice. The other options you mentioned including waiting are simply not going to get the job done. Injection with hyaluronidase will get rid of this in 30 seconds. Please do not wait any longer.

There is no evidence that Hyalurinidase causes hollowness of the eyes.
Once all the fillers are gone, then if the hollowness bother you, consult a board certifed plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery) for dicussing all the options available to you, and the risks of each, then...
