Hyaluronidase Dissolved Natural Tissue - Will It Regenerate?

Hi There,
I had voluma dissolved with hyaluronidase from my cheekbones. There was only .2 of voluma in each cheek, and the doctor used half a unit of hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler a week later (I was desperately unhappy with the outcome and wanted to go back to how I was previously).
The Hyaluronidase has been extremely successful in removing all the filler, however, it has undoubtedly dissolved an amount of my own natural volume. I how have pronounced tear troughs which I never had before, cheeks and flatter and skin feels thinner. It's as if the skin now just covers the eye socket with little tissue / plumpness underneath. It makes me look tired and is really quite ageing.
The doctor assured me the hyaluronidase would not affect my natural tissue, but it quite clearly has.
I went to a new doctor, who is extremely experienced and talented, a week later, to discuss the complications with hyaluronidase and if he had a solution. He conceded that he does believe hyaluronidase can affect your natural levels of HA / Volume as when filler is injected, it bonds with your natural tissue.. which is what makes good filler look natural. The new doctor said if my eyes are still hollow in month, we can look at filling the tear trough with volbella.
I asked him if it's possible for my body to repair the damage and return back to normal levels or HA / "plumpness" - thankfully, he said as I am only 25 years old, my eyes should return back to normal. He, would however, be more concerned if it was an older patient.
If anyone has experienced natural tissue / volume loss with hyaluronidase before, are there any of you who naturally returned to their original state?
Do I have a chance of it just filling back up naturally as I am young?
They say it takes around 48 hours for your body to replace HA, this is clearly untrue.
Many thanks

I agree withblueeyes0000. I regret ever having fillers as I have an infection now for which I have been eight weeks on antibiotics. I would never do it again.

I have been to see a ps who has a very good reputation for fixing mistakes of others and he recommended a 'wait and see' approach rather than hyaluronidase. He claims that nowadays he sees as many comlications from hyaluronidase as from the fillers which was dissapointing as I was hoping to have it desolved. Personally I would put up with some hollownes rather than have an ongoing infection in my face but feel that I should take the advice since he is an expert. I might change my mind if there is no improvement after a while.

Thanks for your comments. @blueEyes, I'm a guy and I'm
Well aware of what I looked like. The filler was in for a week. I also had a cosmetic dermatologist confirm that I had volume loss due to the enzyme.
I hope your earlier comment
Is correct and that the natural
Volume will return! If not, I am seriously considering a touch of filler to fix

@ironist. Even if it dissolves a little of your own hyaluronic Acid the body will replace it within 3-4 weeks. your hyaluronic acid is located in the soft tissue under the skin by the muscle. Its not in your skin!! Hyaluronidase will never dissolve your skin. Your body has dna memory and will replace any missing hyaluronic acid within 1-4 weeks. Please just give it time. Stop focusing on the problem in the meantime

I took pic of my before and after pics before voluma And I know from looking at my pictures after two years that I have definitely lost my own volume in my face from this enzyme I don’t know what you’ve experienced it I’ve talked to many many people who have had the same problem make people have different problems for different reactions but it does and it took me two years just to get to here And I still have that that has never been replaced on the side of my face

I had platelet rich plasma injected above upper lip damaged by hialuronidase. Dent is not as deep a few days later. Still not sure if it will work, if it stays as is i would say there's a 30-40% improvement. Not sure if it's viable in tear through area but may be worth trying micro needling with PRP. If I see a full recovery will let you guys know. Good luck.

Thank you, Tina! I'm going to try that! I've got the same damage as you in a small area above my lip from the hyaluronidaise, and I hate to say this, but the deflated area is actually getting wider as time goes on--the total opposite of getting better. It's been two years and it looks ten times worse now than when it happened! I tried some filler last month (restalyne silk) to plump up the area and it looked better initially but now the dent is back. I look deformed in certain lights and I'm very depressed! There were no lip lines in that area before but the doc was overzealous in injecting the philtrum with restalyne silk and I looked like a freak so he dissolved the area right away. Now I'm left with what looks like scar tissue--an indentation with almost a different skin texture--shiny like a scar would look. So please, ladies, don't let this happen to you! "Less is more" should be your mantra just before you get injected, and keep checking with a mirror to see if you want more. Avoid hyaluronidaise like the plague if you can as no matter what some docs say/think, it DID dissolve some of my natural tissue above my top lip. And if any doctor has any suggestions on how to help I look better, I would be so grateful.

Would you recommend PRP now? How did you heal??
June 4, 2018
How did your skin recover.? I was wondering because I’m getting ready to go see a dermatologist and I was going to ask about platelet rich plasma because I do have two dents on the side of my face that I need filled can you please tell me how that worked out for you thank you

Hi Guys, update for you all. After the holidays I decided that I was still very unhappy with the volume loss from the Hyluronidase. I looked so much older and very tired. I ended up going to a new doctor, highly recommend, and he refilled my tear troughs, cheeks and enhance cheek bones and had a bit of botox as well. Well all I can say it was the best decision I have ever made. I actually feel more attractive than before! Goes to show it is all about finding the right doctor.

What filler was used in your tear troughs, cheeks and cheek bones? I has volume loss after Hyaluronidase as well...

I have experience fat pads moving and increased under the eye hollowness after 18 units of Botox when I only wanted enough to soften glabella lines. Dr. Veronica Solis Rohr did not listen and put in all 18 units to finish it rather than just toss away the remainder of the Botox. I am wondering now if it was old product. My eyes had no crow's feet and she injected some there also that I think it went into my eye sockets. Horrible swollen, allergic results for over 4 months, and then I had completely different under eye appearance & different for each eye! Glad you posted this, am thinking nothing we put into our faces is safe.
