Hyaluronidase question. Is it possible for it to affect the fat and surrounding tissues?

milla618Aug 1, 2015
One doctor injected Hyaluronidase to reduce some of the juvy I had in my face, which I think looked perfectly fine... She just kept using it and I ended up looking like a collapsed fruit or something. I can't explain it. Anyway, what I want to know is if it's possible for the Hyaluronidase to affect the fat and surrounding tissues, because it looked like all the fat on one side of my face was depleted and it looked very wrinkly! Can this happen???
