How far does hyaluronidase travel? Did it stretch my skin?

Question

I recently dissolved some under eye filler and one eye is great and back to normal but the other is proving to be more difficult. It's the outer corner that won't dissolve. How far does hyaluronidase travel and is it possible the filler (not even .2 or 3 of a mill) stretched the skin and now it won't go back to how it originally was? Does the location have to be exactly precise to where the filler was placed?

Thank you for your question.  Sometimes it can take a few sessions of hyaluronidase treatments to fully dissolve unwanted fillers.  I would recommend following-up with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon for another hyaluronidase treatment - you may just need a little more.  The skin has a remarkable ability to recover from stretching, particularly on the face, so I wouldn't worry about any permanent damage from your fillers.  Best of luck!

Dear JordyThank you for your question.Its quite likely that the hyalase has not quite penetrated the filler.Give it another go. Fillers by and large don't do permanent harm in the way you ask so it should be OK eventually.Kind RegardsDr Dinesh MainiZenith Cosmetic Clinics
