I'm considering Hylenex to dissolve Restylane in upper eye hollows. How realistic are my expectations?

Asked By:seekingreconstructive in California, MD

R. injected into my upper eyes 1 month ago. 1 syringe/eye used. Effects outer eyebrows, above eyes, inner corners of eyebrows along the nose/glabella. Immediately regretted it. Very depressed. 1st time using filler, don't want it again. MD said: will try Hylenex to dissolve it, can't make guarantees, too much H. can thin the skin, doesn't know how much is too much. I fear my structures will not return to the pre-R. state, unevenness, asymmetry. How realistic are my expectations and fears?
