Use of Hyaluronidase to counteract a portion of Restylane Defyne (Injections)?

Question

A doctor injected some Restalyn Defyne in the wrong place in my lower face (right side of mouth), creating a lump about 1/2" length & 1/4" wide. IF hyaluronidase is injected to counteract the Defyne (make the lump go down), can this injection be targeted to just that small "lump", and NOT spread to other places nearby it where Restylane WAS definitely needed. In other words, I just want hyaluronidse to remove that 1 lump, and keep the Restylane in the other places nearby

Fillers can swell and migrate unpredictably, especially when a filler with a high-edema quotient is used in thin areas. Our office uses disciplined approaches to help patients with acute or chronic issues related to hyaluronic acid fillers. We begin by assessing for any tissue compromise and advocate early treatment to avoid complications with vascular occlusion. In chronic issues, it is important to gradually break up and dissolve filler so there is no further migration of loose filler substrate. Conservative staged dilution may also help avoid volume loss.
