Is it safe to have under eye filler dissolved days prior to a Brazilian butt lift?

Marilyn_roseJan 20, 2024
I have under eye filler I need to dissolve. If I have abdominal lipo with possible fat transfer to my hips, is it safe to use Hyaluronidase a few days before surgery? Is there a recommended time between dissolving filler and surgery? Also, when is it safe to add new filler to your face after this surgery? Should I wait for a specific amount of time to dissolve before/inject to face after.

I usually wait a few days for the Hylenex to take effect and for any residual swelling to subside. Hylenex is safe and effective. I usually massage the area with a ceramide cream like Elevase after injection. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
