Don't mess with hyaluronidase. It really makes things worse

dont mess with hyaluronidase it really makes things worse

im writing this post because people need to be very careful and need to know that hyaluronidase does damage tissue i dont know exactly how but for me it was evident as i know the damage it made to my face and also with hope that someone knows how to fix it. last year i was injected 8 u of hyaluronidase in my right cheek to dissolve some fillers that i had previously been injected for a subtle asymmetry in my nasolabial folds, now i know it wasnt that bad because things got worse with the injection and its not like doctors say that it only works the most for a week, it continues to work for months! i saw changes in my face for months after the injecton and i hadnt had any more work done after. right now i have a huge depression and atrophy from where the nose is to the middle of my right cheek with a line in the middle of the cheek, totally destroying my facial contour. i dont know what to do, im totally depressed and havent found an answer.

Did you only have 8 units of hyaluronidase? How much filler was there ? I had 28 units put in my cheek. The 4 units along the cheekbone killed me and I only had like .60 total in that cheek. I’m so depressed. I only read about people having bad experiences was 100s + units and not that little and yet here I am! It’s so hard to see a different uglier reflection. People keep saying things get better with time. So it has gotten worse with time?! That is frightening.

hi, yes 8 u in my right cheek i didnt know if that was a lot or not but ive read also of people that are injected so much more i guess it depends on case by case. did you cheek sagged? mine completely sagged but my concern is the line in the middle of cheek since it looks so bad. and yes for me the changes happened month by month even after 6 months of having the injection. what bothers me so much is that there is no solution, thinking this is how ill look for the rest of my life totally depresses me, ive read other reviews and it seems everyone is looking for a solution but there isnt :(...maybe yours will get better with time each case is different

Not for the rest of your life!! We get older everyday... Since I wake up I am one day more older.
November 23, 2018
That’s awful. If you didn’t improve after 8 units there’s really no hope for the rest of us. What’s the right dose then, 2 units? This is crazy :( what would more filler do? Would it help you? Would you consider? In actual scientific studies I’ve read that hyaluronidase stopped working after a few hours! In fact in rats they noticed even sooner than that, that that there was no further change in the area after some time and hyaluronidase stopped working. Maybe it increases our own hyaluornidase some how? This is all insane. I can’t believe I’m here.

I wonder if it stops working at 48 hours but damages the tissue and ability to make collagen increasing likelihood of sagging. I have sagging too after enzyme on NF.
November 23, 2018
Hi Chicago. Do you have volume loss as well? For me, it’s more about volume. I’m sure there’s some sagging but I can’t notice too much cause well there’s not much of anything to sag. Ow many units did you receive and where? Naso folds?

What did you end up doing? I am having the same issue as I. Ive gone in for 3 rounds of hyaluronidase to dissolve some bad cheek filler placement , and now it’s exacerbated the problem! I don’t know what to do at this point. There is a huge triangular dent/depression across the right side of my cheek .
November 23, 2018
i really havent done anything because i really dont know what to do and im terrified of ending worse, i dont know if instead receive therapy ro accept it because ive been suffering so much because of it, i just had a baby and i cant even take care of him because this is all i think about...i was thinking microneedling but then i read horror stories of that too so i dont know! do you have something in mind that might help?
November 23, 2018
How many units did you receive? I got 24 in my cheek and the 4 along the cheek bone screwed me up. I have 3 sessions as well. I’m so mad.

Girl, I’m seriously in the SAME boat as you. This has consumed all of my thoughts as well. My injector keeps downplaying the matter and it makes me feel worse . I really don’t know what we can do. I wish and pray with all of my might and strength that this gets better as time goes by. Just know that you are NOT alone in this *hugz*
November 27, 2018
Ugh. I don’t understand this poison at all. It affects some people and not others... doctors don’t even know how to use it. Thanks hun I hope we recover from this. Did they use a lot on you?
November 23, 2018
Ugh I don’t get how the body can repair after cancer after burns etc and with this it won’t heal like at all?! It’s so odd and horrible.
November 23, 2018
does any of you have actually gotten better with time or with a procedure?
November 24, 2018
I’m only 2-3 months in. Not really seen much improvement. I still have hope. If I don’t, I will have to do something about it. I will at least try.
February 17, 2019
i have hyaluronidase done on my underyes and it went better just after 24 hours...my injector used only drop of hyaluronidase and after 24 hours my eyes got better ...i think it depends on how your injector do it ... i do believe there is a solution for that like ALMI procedure...

Darling check dr Karamifar in Instagram, I will go to him in December. He works wonders in reconstructive surgery, me too I had my face melted with 300units of [RS bleep] hialuronidase

I'm so sorry, friend. It's so disappointing to hear first the claims that something can't cause some unwanted effect... and then to experience that unwanted effect. I hope you find a happy resolution. Sending love your way.

I have lines on both cheeks from where it was injected. My eye has never recovered. It’s been a year. The eye is totally destroyed. I look my age from the eye that didn’t have the injection and almost 10 years older on the other side. It’s one of my biggest regrets. Never trust a provider that tells you hyaluronidase doesn’t affect your natural tissue. DUH! That was THE original intention of this medication!

I had a bad result from hyaluronidase, eye area collapse. Then did some refill and did get better. Will never use again.
October 4, 2019
Was it tear rough or orbital bone filler? Mine is still horrible. Also created terrible bags from removal. Feel horrible and have tried filler to fix but my symetry is now out of whack and one side worse than other. Feel so sad i cant get even symentry anymore and eyes have aged 10 years i swear

hi, im basically creating an update with a more clear picture and to see if anyone out there knows what to do. im basically in the same situation than before, in the picture you can clearly see my concern, im still depressed about the whole situation, i cant believe im still thinking about this and havent found a solution. i have an appointment with a board certified doctor in february 18 to see what can i do about it, i really havent done anything sooner because i was pregnant, the sadder part is that the dr that inyected me with hyaluronidase is a park avenue dr which are supposed to be super reputable. someone sent me a message that prp injections might help but i dont know...someone out there have try it with good results? it really angries me when a read basucally ALL the doctors saying hyaluronidase is safe and doesnt create damage meanwhile a lot of people like me are writing their testimony that it clearly does create damage, they should listen what people are saying here!!!

I don’t see a problem at all. You look good. I don’t see a line or flat cheeks or depressions.
November 14, 2019
I can see the line and depression clearly.
February 5, 2019
hi, real5646 the line is where the arrow is pointing right in middle of cheek, with light you can see it clearly, i can see it clearly in that picture.
February 7, 2019
Sorry I don’t see it but I understand you, it’s horrible how faces change with filler and dissolving. But 90 % of the changes are not visible for other people so I think you are too hard to yourself. In my opinion you look great! You can fill this line with deep enhancement of the cheeks. Never inject it directly. Make your research and find someone good. I am dealing with horrible filler result in cheeks too. I am now 6 months post and waiting. Tried everything else but it made it worse. I am tired of waiting so I will go on an appointment for dissolving. Hope it turn out well. I think that living with my filler result will age me more than dissolving. I don’t go out at all.
