Hyaluronidase Very Effective at Removing Restylane Under Eyes - Orlando, FL

I had Restylane injected under both eyes in...

I had Restylane injected under both eyes in mid-November 2011. The swelling never went down though some days were a bit better. I was disgusted that I had spent $450 to make myself look OLDER and TIRED I went back to my MD injector, and she insisted that it would go down. After 3 weeks, she used ultrasound therapy. It made it WORSE! On January 3, 2012, I saw an opthalmic surgeon who injected hyaluronidase under both eyes. Initially, both eyes swelled up to almost closed but dissipated within 10 minutes. She also gave me a script for prednisone for 5 days. Within 24 hours, my eyes were back to normal and remain that way 3 months later.

Great review?

Thanks for posting your experience. I have exactly the same problem as you one month after Juverderm under both eyes. The Juvederm also caused numerous wrinkles on and around the raised Juvederm areas. I will be getting Hyaluronidase this week and hope it works for me also. I'm also digusted with the tired, socked in the eyes, look.

Dear Barbara8253, I've been gettting several small injections, of the Hyaluronidase, for two months now. A large indention formed below, and around, my right eye as well as a comma shaped blue ring in the indented area after the first round of Hyaluronidase. A plastic surgeon was able fill the indented areas with Radiesse. This immediately took away all the blue discoloration, and also filled in the hollow areas. He balanced it with the left side of my face so it was very close on both sides after the Radiesse. This area was a little away from my actual eye, because Radiesse is not supposed to be used too close to the lower eyelids. You may want to check into this with a plastic surgeon, or even look into fat transfer to fill in the indented areas. I really think a good, experienced, plastic surgeon can use Radiesse, or fat transfer, to help you too. Radiesse is the cheaper, and quicker, way to go and will last up to two years. Don't give up and set up an appointment A.S.A.P.

you were very lucky, i wish that was my story

You are very lucky, the circulation and tissue in my eye was very thin and I developed a full thickness ulcer which required 2 skin grafts and a year of rest and antibiotics. And yes the Dr. Kept the money for the Juvederm injections and no the Dr. That did this did not contribute 1 cent for the 2 Drs. that had to fix this mess. I will never close my left eye again for the rest of my life... This was a VERY EXPENSIVE experiment.

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that dissolve restylane.. So you spend money twice - once to do it and once to undo it.. The first doctor should pay all money to you, because they don't know what they doing...

I am so glad you found someone who was able to help you out and that you are back to yourself now. It must have been a bit scary when you had the quick & severe swelling after the injections. I bet you were glad it went away so fast.
