Hyaluronidase, collagen loss and skin texture change - how to fix?

Question

Since hyaluronic acid plays a key role in nourishing collagen, wouldn't that mean that when HA is degraded suddenly due to an injection of hyaluronidase, there's a domino effect where cells can no longer hold water and collagen then degenerates, leading to loss of skin elasticity? I had hyaluronidase injected just beneath the orbital rim to dissolve tear trough filler, and months later the entire front of my cheek is still depleted and a different texture, where I never had filler.

Your issue is an unfortunate one and way too common. I believe that very few individuals should have hyaluronic acid injected into the lower eyelid. For that reason I use exclusively the patient's own fat to treat this area. Fat provides natural and practically permanent results. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
