I got Restylane about 7 months ago. I would like to get rhinoplasty and surgeons have suggested using hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler. However some have said it is safe to undergo surgery in as little as 3 days after injection, and some have suggested waiting at least a month. How long should I wait after the injection before under going surgery? Will the hyaluronidase cause any trauma to the area? And increase possibility of complications?

Answer: Rhinoplasty after Hyaluronidase Injection to Eliminate Nasal Fillers
No. Hyaluronidase does not affect your natural collagen or injected collagen. It is an enzyme that targets hyaluronic acid directly. Other enzymes called collagenases that your body produces will break down collagen, but these enzymes tend to be very specific with their targets.
You could get an injection into the area that is too big.I don't think it will matter.but most of the time the restylene should be gone but soemhow it lingers a little longer in you.
