Is hyaluronidase safe? Had overcorrected prejowl sulcus and now looking chinless as it changed my natural face contour.

Question

Had seen many people who had done hyaluronidase but are complaining about indentations and skin damage etc. Now I don't know if I wait two years or more for this thick filler to disappear or if I take the risk of dissolving it? I'm afraid it can worsen the situation.

Hi and thank you for your question! Hyaluronidase is very safe and as a matter of fact, it's naturally produced and present in our body. There are two versions in the US and I recommend that you opt for the newer recombinant version as it lacks the risk of allergic reactions. I hope it helps and good luck!

Yes, hyaluronidase is safe and should not cause indentations. I recommend following up with your injector about your concerns. Hope this helps.

Hyaluronidase will not negatively impact your natural tissue. I recommend following up with your injector. It can take a series of treatments to dissolve filler. Best, Dr. Emer

Hyaluronidase is generally quite safe though allergy has been rarely reported to the non-human derived form (Hylenex is the human derived version).  It is more successful with some HA fillers (Restylane) than with others (Voluma) but it always works if enough is injected.  Usually it does not cause indentation just a loss of whatever correction was achieved with the filler, which can always be replaced.  As always it is best to seek a physician who is experienced with these techniques.

Hyaluronidase is very safe and rarely causes problems if used properly.  It can lead to subtle atrophy of tissue if used in high doses (which is sometimes necessary), but these changes are not usually permanent.  Small amounts of carefully injected hyaluronidase should be very safe if you truly do not like the results of your filler.  Again, its always best to go slow and dissolve a little at a time, sometimes even doing multiple visits/treatments and dissolving small amounts at a time until the desired result is achieved.
