Lips Are Too Big After Restylane - Can I Get Hyaluronidase?

You still have swelling from the needle sticks, and the tiny amounts of bleeding that always occur with these treatments. In addition, the Restylane absorbs fluid, and can provide more fullness than desired, especially for the first week or so. Like other answers here, I would definitely wait a week or so before asking for hyaluronidase (Wydase) injections to reabsorb some of the Restylane. If indeed you are larger than you wish, this works nicely. (Wydase is an enzyme that helps dissolve unwanted hyaluronic acid--Restylane).

As with most things in cosmetic intervention, it is much easier and better to add more than to take away. The same applies to overaggressive hyaluronidase reduction of your Restylane. I have used Wydase for over 20 years and have seen no side effects to date.

At two days after your Restylane injections, you are most likely swollen, which is the reason your lips look so big. Swelling following dermal fillers for lip augmentation is extremely common, but this is not your final result. The swelling should reduce on its own within a week at the latest, after which you can see the final result. If you still feel that your lips are too big after the swelling has reduced, hyaluronidase could certainly be an option to safely dissolve the filler and allow your lips to return to their natural shape more quickly.

You should wait a couple of weeks for swelling to subside before assessing your results. The swelling may be contributing to the current size of your lips.Bumps may be excess product. Hyaluronidase injections can break up hyaluronic acid based filler so that it gets absorbed by your body faster, reversing your results. If it's another type of filler, you'll have to see your PS for an assessment as surgery may be necessary.

Hyaluronidase will dissolve Restylane. But at two days after injection, you are probably at the peak of the swelling and so do not have a true view of how things will look. I would wait several more days before removing the product, and then, rest assured that if you still do not like the look, it is possible to reverse the filler.
