Will hyaluronidase also dissolve my own tissue in addition to the filler? Late Onset Reaction here

Question

I received filler in my jawline in April, under my eyes in June and in my lips in August. Two weeks ago all of these injected areas have become firm and swollen. For the past week, my doctor has been treating me with allergy meds, antibiotics, and hydrochlorothiazide. The inflammation is subsiding (slowly), but the areas are still firm. 2 Questions: Is there any chance these areas will become soft again? If I dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase will it also dissolve my own tissue?

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

I have been using hyaluronic acid fillers for 30 years now, and I have always said that they should not be used in the lower eyelid area as almost all individuals run it to some kind of issues. Ask your doctor to use very small amounts of hyaluronate to dissolve the product. Then consider having fat grafting done as it will provide you with a much more natural and permanent results. I hope this helps and good luck from that Grossman MD, organic Plastic Surgery.
