I have had silicone injection in my top lip over 10 years ago. I have always regretted it and hated how it changed my face. I have had a few kenalog injections that take the puffiness down but does not last long. My Dr suggested before surgery to try injecting Hyalurindase. I have been reading about its effects on helping with fillers etc. but not sure how it will help with silicone. Any feedback or help on this would be tremendous help.

Answer: Hyaluronidase does not remove silicone Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid which is contained in Restylane and Juvederm. Injectable silicone does not contain this acid so it will not be affected by hyaluronidase.

Answer: Silicone injections: permanent results, permanent problems Although I have seen some good long-term results from silicone injections into lips, I think that for most people permanent injectable materials in the lips will cause problems at some point. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, the building block for Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane. Kenalog is a steroid similar to cortisone, so it helps with inflammation and swelling but also won't affect the silicone. It may require surgical removal if it continues to be a problem. Wish I had better news.
