Can a bee sting dissolve the Juvederm lip filler?

Question

Dear Doctors, I have a question. I've read in Wikipedia bee poison contains hyaluronidases. Hyaluronidase dissolves lip fillers. Does it mean that the lip filler can be dissolved if I'll be stung inside my lip by a bee?

Wow, you are putting too much thought into this. My guess would be that a bee sting does not contain enough of the enzyme to do anything like this, but I guess it is possible. Just try to stay away from large numbers of angry bees.Good luck!

My first advice is: stay away from bees and don't try to kiss them. But if you do get stung by a bee on your lips, please let us know what happened.
