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?

Is there a doctor in Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas area who will use Hylenex to get rid of the terrible fluid retention under both eyes from Juvederm injections last November?

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

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.

I would proceed with caution if you go to Dr. Alster. I cannot comment on her talent with Juvederm because I never had that done. She is talented. Some of her procedures worked for me, but most did not. She was good at convincing me that a procedure was likely to work, and then when it didn't, she would recommend another round---not for free because the first round didn't work, but at full cost. After several rounds, I would stop not because there was any improvement in my skin but because my funds were depleted. I wasted a great deal of money at her office.
