Hyaluronidase to correct fillers at 6 weeks pregnant. Please help.

Question

Last week I received hyaluronidase to correct fillers on my under eye. I just found out that I am 7 weeks pregnant. Will hyaluronidase affect/ harm the baby? I'm very worried.

Melissa Chiang, MD, FAAD · Answer

In general, we avoid fillers, toxins and hyaluronidase in pregnant women.  The reason is that these treatments have not been tested in pregnant women.  There is no reason to worry that hyaluronidase will affect your baby.  It only acts in the area where it is injected.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

The hyaluronidase will not harm your fetus. But at this point, unless there is a vascular blockage or some sort of real problem with the filler, you need to just leave things alone. We do not do tests with fillers or injectables or hyaluronidase on pregnant women. But that being said, you are not the first to have this happen. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
