Mid thirties. Was severely overfilled with 1 syringe under each eye and 2 syringes per cheek (6 total!!!). Was devastated. Had hydase injected 2 months ago (30 units each cheek bone, 30 units each lower cheek where no filler injected). Cheeks extremely saggy, very heavy around mouth. Used to have tight narrow face. Am I doomed or can I get my face back? Do I need facelift now due to damage?

Thank you for your question. Hyaluronidase frequently causes more swelling than the HA itself due to an inflammatory response. Swelling should resolve in 7-10 days. You may need re-injection of Hyaluronidase for symmetry and more even dissolution of HA. Good luck.
