Does Vitrase or Dissolving Agent for Restylane Cause Swelling

Do dissolving agents for ha fillers cause swelling or bruising? I am trying to remove some lumps caused by restylane in my lips, but I'm doing it on a saturday and have an event on that evening (4 hours after my appointment).

Does Hyaluronidase cause swelling?

Hyaluronidase, generally speaking does not cause swelling but any time a needle is poked in to a delicate and sensitive area like the lips you can get swelling...some people more than others. Ice, before and after the procedure, is probably your best bet to minimize the swelling and have the best chance of showing up to your event without much swelling. That being said, again, with any needle poke, not only is there a chance of swelling but bruising as well....so you may... more

That is close timing

Bruising is always possible when a needle is involved. Make sure it is FDA approved product as compounded material is more likely to cause swelling and even allergic reactions. I would try to get this done a few days before a big event. Vitrase causes little swelling and works very quickly. Good Luck.

Does Vitrase or Dissolving Agent for Restylane Cause Swelling

YES! Do not do 4 hours before an event. Not very good medicine. It is called the "what if" issue. How happy would you be if you had swelling and black and blue to your lips following the injection? Not tooo. I bet you did not tell the injecting doctor you are going to an event 4 hours after the injections, did you! From MIAMI Dr. darryl j. Blinski

Vitrase does not cause any swelling

Vitrase can be injected directly into the lump and cause the Restylane to dissolve in a day or two. The risk of swelling is very low since it is a liquid and not a gel like Restylane itself. You can get bruising as you would from any other injection. It is probably best to wait until the day after the event for the injections.

Vitrase does not cause swelling when it dissolves Restylane

Vitrase does not cause swelling when it dissolves Restylane. You can use a tiny needle (32 gage) like we would use for BOTOX, and there shouldn’t be any swelling with these injections.

Swelling after hyaluronidase

Any time you have an injection you can have swelling or bruising.  The lips are particularly sensitive and may swell or bruise more than other areas of the face.  It is not the hyaluronidase itself but rather the fact that you are having any injection at all that could cause you to be swollen and bruised.  The larger volume you have injected the more swelling you will have.  If your event is very important it would probably be better to wait until after the event to... more

Hyaluronidase to dissolve restylane in the lip

It's not the medicine but the treatment that can cause bruising and swelling.  Any needle stick may cause a big bruise.  The volume of the hyaluronidase going into the lip to dissolve either Restylane or Juvederm, will also add some "swelling" and you may react in a more exaggerated fashion than other patients, so I would recommned you defer the treatment. see video

Vitrase side effects

Vitrase injections are usually well tolerated.  They can cause a small amount of swelling but this is typically less apparent than the HA that is being removed.  Vitrase can exert a visible effect as soon as a few hours after injection.  Bruising after vitrase injection can occur.

Does Vitrase to Reverse Restylane Cause Swelling?

Hi. It's possible to have redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site, but for Vitrase it is unlikely to be noticeable. We typically do not need to inject a lot of product. That, combined with the fact that the Vitrase should be dissolving the Restylane should not make the area look any more swollen or bumpy than it may already. We would recommend getting the treatment done days before the event, but if this is not possible and your injector is experienced with... more
