Virginia Hyaluronidase Recommendation

My plastic surgeon used way too much and I am miserable with the way my face looks. It is very distorted from my usual appearance. I had only wanted a small amount injected into the one wrinkle on each side of my mouth. I live in Virginia and I am not able to find a qualified physician to inject hyaluroniase to dissolve this mess of Juvederm. At this point I will be thrilled to have all of it gone. Do you have any suggestions as to whom I may find for the hyaluroniase injections?

Let your fingers do the walking and be direct with your questions

I think in this situation you want someone that does lots of injections. Most significantly experience injectors will also know how to inject hyaluronidase to help dissolve the hyaluronic acid filler ie, juvederm, restylane etc. Personally I think the real skin in hyaluronidase comes in injecting the correct amount to try and achieve the precise results.

Many docs that inject the hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane etc) will stock a hyalurnidase such as Vitrasse. Call multiple offices and ask the receptionist or nurse if they stock the enzyme to dissolve Juvederm. Vitrasse should not be used if you are allergic to eggs. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with your injector of Juvederm. There is a saying among physicians that, "It's not the filler (Juvederm in your case) that causes the problem, but the filler (the person who injected you)". If you live near Washington DC, see Tina Alster, MD to correct your Juvederm. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
