Hyaluronidase/hylenex or filler dissolve safe for all areas that have Juvederm?

Question

Are these agents ototoxic? Can they be used in all areas of face to help dissolve filler.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

HA fillers can be reversed safely with Hylenex injections. If you have associated granulomas, additional therapy may be required. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Hylenex is not ototoxic. I am curious where you came across that information? Hylenex can be used anywhere that hyaluronic acid filler has been placed. The key is to place the Hylenex within the filler collection for optimal results. Typically, 20-30 units of Hylenex are required to remove about 0.1mL of filler. Best.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

All areas of the face are safe to inject hyaluronidase so as to dissolve Juvederm or any other hyaluronic-acid based filler. This agent is not ototoxic (not toxic to the ear).
