Dissolve filler or wait? If I wait until it dissolves naturally will my skin be stretched?

Question

I had Juvederm Volbella in my tear troughs 6 months ago. I haven't been hapy with it the whole time, but I'm in a different country to where I was injected. Now I'm going home and I have an appointment to have it dissolved, but I'm having second thoughts. I know Hyalase can affect your own natual tissues, but if I wait until it dissolves naturally will my skin be stretched? Which option is safer? I'm already miserable about my appearance, and I'm scared of making it even worse. Thank you.

Good afternoon, 
I'm sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with your treatment. Filler can be dissolved with a small amount of hyalase and it should have little impact on your own HA. I would recommend that you book in with an expert clinic that manages complications. If you decide not to dissolve the filler it should not stretch the skin. 
I hope that helps
Good luck

No, hyaluronidase won't negatively impact your natural tissue. Once the filler resolves, whether naturally or with hyaluronidase, it will not stretch the skin. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps.

If you are unhappy with your filler then you should dissolve it. Any deflation of your natural hyaluronic acid will quickly resolve. However, even if you waited for it dissolve on its own it would not stretch out your skin as it is a very small volume. Good luck with achieving your desired result..
