Risks of squeezing out Restylane under eyes? (Pls don't recommend hyaluronidase, I know it's best, see info in details)

March 2, 2016
Asked By:urlm in New York, New York, USA

My Restylane treatment gave me bigger bags and discolouration (probably injected too superficially). Now my doctor insists on squeezing it out rather than using hyaluronidase. He thinks hyaluronidase is risky. I can't afford going to a 2nd doctor and want this one to correct it.Which means I'll have to go through with the squeeze procedure. What I'm asking is,are there any risks involved with this? Or is the worst case scenario only that it will be ineffective? Can it cause permanent damage?
