Am I able to dissolve Restylane skin booster that was placed 6 months ago and causing a bloated face appearance?

Maia9989Jun 22, 2021
I didn't like the results from the beginning. My face was fine before the skin booster not chubby appearing so I know it is the skin booster. Can this be dissolved now after this time? I have even gone as far to lose weight. It didn't affect the skin booster. How will this be done with hyaluronidase after all this time?

The swelling caused by filler in this area may not completely resolve after dissolving the filler away. If it does not, other treatments like radio frequency and/or laser may help improve the molar edema.

It is most likely some filler that is left. It may just need further dissolving. Do visit a trusted practitioner in your area to have it checked completely.

Hyaluronidase doesn’t dissolve your own tissues. There is no free-floating hyaluronic acid in our tissues. As such, it is completely safe to inject hyaluronidase to dissolve HA fillers.
