Is 70 units of hyaluronidase too much to dissolve Restylane?

Question

Last month I had a Restylane filler under my eyes, a half syringe for each eye, but the results were bad so I had to dissolve it with hyaluronidase. The doctor used 70 units for each eye, and it was constant. However, my eyes looked worse after three days.. And my face stared to lose volume, despite what doctors say that it doesn't affect the skin.. So I am wondering if the units were too much and I am wondering if the skin will rebuild the lost tissues, more than two months?

There are no certain protocols about using hyaluronidase. Where to inject, depth, volume and density of the filler are also important for injecting hyaluronidase. Brand name of the hyaluronidase also changes amount of units. In my experience, it doesn't affect skin tissues but only hyaluronic fillers. Keep in touch with your esthetic doctor.
Try to find a doctor who understands your needs and whose esthetic vision fits yours.
Most important, try to find one esthetic doctor who can use filler like sculptress use clay.

Typically, I recommend 1 vial of Hyelnex per mL of hyaluronic acid based filler. Certain HA fillers like Voluma are harder to dissolve then others and may require more than one treatment session.
