I had Juvederm injected to fill the circles (fat pockets) under my eyes 3 years ago. procedure left me with pillows under my eyes. Will hyaluronidase injections dissolve the Juvederm after 3 years? plastic surgeon I recently went to suggested it but also said that there is a change it might not dissolve it since it was done so long ago. If that doesn't work, what would you suggest?

Answer: Dissolving Juvederm HiHyaluronidase has been reported to dissolve HA fillers even several years after they have been placed. And yes, there are also reports of the fillers lasting for several years. Fortunately, hyaluronidase is very safe, and so there is little to lose in attempting to dissolve it if it is actually still there. Reportedly, Juvederm is a little tougher to dissolve than testy lane. Gooduck!

Answer: Dissolving Juvederm with Hyaluronidase Hi Paris. We are guessing the reason that the plastic surgeon said that it might not dissolve is that there should be no Juvederm left after 3 years. Hyaluronic acid based products like Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane are usually metabolized by the body in less than 12 months so there should be none left at this point. We are guessing that the bumps or pillows you are speaking about are just your own skin and tissue.
