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

Question

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???

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid but not fat. With that said it can break down natural hyaluorinc acid as well as Juvederm. The effects are highly does dependent. A conservative dose placed right in a collection of filler will dissolve the filler. A large does spread around outside areas where filler is placed will tend to break down more of your natural hyaluronic acid and less filler.

Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid, not fat. That said, if the dose is too high, it may affect the natural hyaluronic acid in the areas surrounding the treatment area. It's essential to have an experienced, certified medical professional injecting the hyaluronidase. I would also recommend a second opinion.
