Is hyaluronidase the best option or should I just wait for the restylane to leave my body on its own? (Photo)

If you are unhappy with the irregular look of your tear trough Restylane injections, hyaluronidase provides a quick and easy fix.  If it is 3 weeks after injection and you have tried some massage to the area and it is still not improved, it may take 12 months or more to go back to the pre-injection state. Hyaluronidase is typically injected with a tiny needle into the area and you begin to see a result within a few minutes with the final result seen at around 24 hrs.  The downside is the possibility of some minor swelling and bruising.I typically see patients in my office who have had injections elsewhere that they are unhappy with.  I tend to dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase and then re-inject the patients a few days to a week later.

Hi @Liz_Woods! Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

If you have fullness and swelling under your eyes after Restylane injection then I would recommend injection of hyaluronidase.I don't feel that your eye twitching is related to Restylane injections.  There can be some bruising and swelling after hyaluronidase this usually resolves fairly quickly

If you are unhappy with the results of the filler, I suggest having it reversed and fixed by an expert in filler injections who uses cannulas for filler placement.  It is common for this area (tear trough/under eyes) to get swollen and have irregularites if not performed by a well trained injector.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Liz.  Hyaluronidase works very well for Restylane and Juvederm reversal with no side effects.  Typically the effects are seen within the first 24 hours.  The procedure is quick and simple.To see an example of a Los Angeles patient that wnated Juvederm under the eyes reversed with Vitrase, click on the link below for before and after pictures.
