Saggy Skin After Hyaluronidase

ORIGINAL POST

I had restylane for a minor tear trough probelm...

I had restylane for a minor tear trough probelm just over 2 weeks ago. The area did not go down and I was left with bags under my eyes. 15 days after the procedure I had the restylane dissolved but am left with baggy crepey skin and looks much worse than before.

I am panicking and am desperate to look like I did before. I am only 31 and wish I'd left well alone.

Having had restylane dissolved with hyaluronidase under my eyes, I am left with crepey loose skin and look worse than before. Is there a risk that the enzyme could have damaged my own tissue or is it just a reaction to the reduction in swelling and injuections? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I had a similar experience with hyaluronidase. Lots of people have a 'hypersensitivity' reaction to it especially if it is injected around the eyes and I think it does affect natural tissue.

Has your swelling gotten any better?

The tear though on the right eye is worse than it was before as I still have a blob of restylane low down under the eye. I found out that the practitioner used restylane touch which is place superficially, hence looks worse I guess!My left eye is now bak to normal. Anyway I'm booked in to see an occular consultant on Monday who says he can harmlessly get rid of it thank god! As for the practitioner who did It she trid to tell me I looked better, slapped a bit of make up on me and told me to leave alone. We'll see about that; I'm seeking advise to get my money back.

Oh and on contemplation I don't think the hyaluronidase caused damage to my own skin. I think my skin went crepey in response to all of the injections. I now have smooth skin with a couple of lumps...and divets joy! will let you know after monday when hopefully I will have a matching pair of eyes again. Hope your Juvederm resolves itself
