I had 3 syringes of undiluted Hylenex yesterday to dissolve 1 syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus. Is that safe for the body?

Question

Doctor says it takes many units to dissolve juvederm ultra plus as its highly crosslinked. So far i can see it all dissolved today. I havent experienced any side effects which im happy about as it made my face look super fat and distorted. This product should not be used in the nasolabial folds. Was that amount of hyaluronidase safe for the body though?

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Hylenex is safely administered into the body in order to dissolve the hyaluronic acid present in dermal fillers alone, not that found naturally in your tissues.  It appears that you had a good response, with full dissolution of your JVD ultra plus, and I would not expect you to have any issues.  Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Hyaluronidase is safe for the body and it sounds like you've had good results with it. If you remain concerned, I recommend following up with your Dr. For nasolabial folds, I recommend a combination approach with fillers to the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top to get the most conservative natural look. See an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer

Hyaluronidase is safe however there is a risk of severe allergic reaction which is extremely low .Although this risk is low , it is essential to be prepared in the event of its occurrence .
In the absence of allergy , your dosing is safe and yes juvederm ultra plus takes higher doses

Thank you for your question. Hyaluronidase is safe to use in the body in order to dissolve the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers. It is great to hear that you had good results and your Juvederm is fully dissolved. You should not have any issues as this product is safe. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question and we always recommend that you have these injections performed in the offices of board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons as we are the true experts on how to use the fillers and how to dissolve them when needed.  It appears from all accounts that your provider did everything correctly and you should not have any concerns from this or if you ever want to have further injections – just make sure you are seeing the correct expert injector.
