Does hylauronidase dissolve HA filler evenly? (photos)

August 27, 2014
Asked By:Sweet_mint in Ukiah, CA

I've been injecting HA for 5 years and everything was perfect until last time. The doctor injected the filler in the wrong place and it migrated up north, almost to the nose, making my upper lip look asymmetric and thin (although there's a lot of filler inside). So The only option now is hylauronidase, but I'm afraid to inject it, since I've read some scary reviews about it leaving hollow patches in the skin (especially when there're leftovers of old injections). So, is hylauronidase safe?
