Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is used to dissolve fillers make of hyaluronic acid, which are a different pH than your body's own tissue. Therefore, the enzyme cannot effect your normal tissue. Best, Dr. Emer.
Amphadase comes from a bovine source (cows).Vitrase comes from an ovine source (sheep). Hylenex comes from a recombinant human product.BestDr karamanoukian

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. The broken down filler is then reabsorbed and disposed of. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. As long as the filler that was injected was a hyaluronic acid, then Vitrase (hyaluronidase) will dissolve what was injected (and very quickly at that). It will not cause any problems with your native hyaluronic acid, so you should expect that your lips...
It sounds like you need to see your doctor back or have an assessment who is really familiar with the use of fillers and hyaluronidase treatments.
