Hyaluronidase to Dissolve Restylane on my Nose?

Hyaluronidase can dissolve Restylane.  It may take time and more than one injection.  You may not get back to complete baseline, but is it something that might improve what you have.  

Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

If you are that unhappy with the Restylane that was injected in your nose, you might be happy with the results of dissolving the Restylane with hyaluronidase.  It might take more than one treatment.  You might be unhappy, though, because of swelling and the hyaluronidase won't fix that possibly.  You should see an expert.  There is a possibility of an allergic reaction and you shouldn't have this if you are allergic to bee stings.
 

Hi Henry,

Hyaluronidase will dissolve the unwanted Restylane in your nose.  Make sure that your treating physician knows what she/he is doing.  Good luck and be well.

The reassuring thing about the Hyaluronic Acid fillers (Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm) are that you can reverse them using the enzyme Hyaluronidase.  So the answer to your question is- yes.  I agree with the other physicians, that you should wait until the swelling is down.  In the future, when it comes to your nose, you absolutely need to have a rhinoplasty surgeon treat you.  Whether it is for a surgical or non-surgical indication, understanding of the nasal anatomy and nuances of nasal balance need to be firmly  understood before treating the nose with fillers.  The good news, is that in this case, it is reversible. 

Good luck. 

Yes, hyaluronidase or vitrase will work to "melt" HA products such as Restylane and Juvederm.  If you just had the injections, then it may be better to wait a week or so to let the swelling go down first.  If you absolutely hate it, then go ahead and have the Hyaluronidase or Vitrase injecitons, but keep in mind that you will still have swelling from the initial injection which will have to resolve on its own and will not be affected by the Hyaluronidase or Vitrase injections.

 

Good Luck.

If you are unhappy with the Restylane injected in your nose, the effect can be reversed with Hyaluronidase.  "Fillers in the nose" are generally not a good idea, so your displeasure is not surprising.

Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, and luckily there is an enzyme that can completely dissolve these fillers: Hyaluronidase. I have found that injecting  a small amount of hyaluronidase will dissolve the injected material literally overnight. Hyaluronidase can be injected in any area of the face that has an unsatisfactory result from filler injection.

Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane can be dissolved with hyaluronidase and may need more than one treatment session spaced 2 weeks apart.

Recently is more or less than a week to 10 days??? If yes than wait til 2 weeks out and I would inject in 2 visits a few weeks apart the "dissolver" at 20 units the first injection than a booster of 40 units if needed.
