Wydase and Fat Removel from Lips

Fat injections
Wydase (Hyaluronidase) will not be able to dissolve fat, it is used to dissolve hyaluronic acid containing products such as Juvederm and Restylane. It is difficult to remove fat, sometimes performing a "micro liposuction" technique with small syringes and the fat injection cannulas can help the situation.
