How Long After Hyaluronidase Can You Have More Juvederm Injections?

Question

I had juvederm injections 3 1/2 weeks ago and one side is uneven which I am being told is swelling but I'm certain its not swelling and is product. I am considering Hyaluronidase but would like to know how long this stays in your skin for and how long I will have to wait to have more jevederm injections by a more skilled doctor

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.

I have had good success using hyaluronidase selectively to correct overinjected areas.  The effect is rapid, usually within 3 days but I would advise waiting about a month before reinjection with Juvederm to insure all changes from both filler reduction and swelling are complete.

If you are not happy with your current Juvederm result and have a Hyaluronidase treatment to correct the problem, you should allow 3-4 weeks prior to considering further injectable.  However, prior to proceeding, sit down with your Doctor of choice and review your treatment goals.

usually will start working within a day- you can re-inject if you like in 2 weeks- but best to wait 4 weeks so that it all disappears before re-introducing product!

A. John Vartanian, MD, MS · Answer

Great question!  The half life of hyaluronidase is about 3 days, so with a single local injection, its effect should approach zero in 3-4 weeks.  So I would wait about 4 weeks, before reinjecting an area previously treated with hyluronidase.  All the best, Dr. Vartanian
