I had a lot of Hyalase injected (at a very strong dose, many times over several weeks) and ended up with quite hollow undereyes. Could Hyalase have dissolved fat? I know that the standard answer is no. But is it possible?

Answer: Hylase Good question. Hylase typically doesn't dissolve fat. Now if you had high dose and several injections it can cause significant inflammation and once that heals can leave behind the hollow effect but typically it doesn't dissolve fat.

Answer: Hyalase and fat loss? Dear matthowes:Thank you for your question! I can tell you that hyaluronidase (Vitrase, Hylenex) is an enzyme that is specific to hyaluronic acid only, just as deoxycholic acid (Kybella) is specific to fat. It is impossible for Hylenex (or Kybella) to dissolve any other substrate than hyaluronic acid (or fat, in the case of Kybella). As you know form your chemistry classes, enzymes, like hyaluronidase, usually are specific to one chemical reaction only, and that is the case with hyaluronidase. I hope that your dermatologist or plastic surgeon can help you to understand what is going on with your undereye area. All the best, Dr. Clark
