I had a dermal filler 3 weeks ago and it created bags under my eyes . Will hylaronidase help ? Can you recommend any other solution?
Answer: Eyelid dermal filler reversal Longterm filler problems include migration, edema, and nodularity. Filler migration and permanence is a very common problem because there are many different types of HA fillers on the market and each is specified for a specific part of the face. Use of highly cohesive fillers on thin skin may cause swelling and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes Hylenex and Hyaluronidase in different strengths to dissolve the filler. We may also need to add Kenalog to the mix in order to reduce fibrous tissue. If the filler does not dissolve, it either means the filler is not HA material or we need more enzyme. The HA reversal can be combined with other lasers and skin treatments at the same time, and it usually (usually) does not affect adjacent tissue. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Dermal Filler Reversal Hi Zen. Hyaluronidase (Vitrase, etc.) works well for reversing injection treatments as long as the original product injected is made with Hyaluronic acid. Products such as Restylane, Juvederm, Lyft, Voluma are made from Hyaluronic acid. As long as you know that an HA product was used, the reversal should be straight forward. To see an example of an under eye reversal, click on the link below.

Answer: Reversing under eye filler Yes hyaluronidase injections can certainly help. Some fillers respond better than others. May require several treatments to correct.

Answer: Unhappy with filler for Tear Troughs--Reverse with Hyaluronidase Yes, this can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Hyaluronidase for under eye filler Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the results of your under eye filler treatment. Do you remember which product was injected under your eyes? Assuming you were treated with a hyaluronic acid product (Restylane, Belotero, or Juvederm products), hyaluronidase should be able to effectively dissolve your filler. It may take more than 1 session to fully reverse the effects of your filler, but it can be done. That said, the under eyes are also particularly prone to swelling after filler injections. While this swelling typically resolves within 2 weeks for most patients, I have seen a handful of patients who have experienced swelling for longer periods of time (sometimes up to 4 weeks or so). I would recommend following-up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best of luck!
