Update
After reading my last update I realise I should probably post another update. About a week after the injection it settled down to the point where it looked about the same or slightly better than before. I was kind of frustrated and did an aggressive microneedling treatment at this point. The following 1-2 weeks it looked significantly better, much more so that it has from a single microneedling session previously.
So I think it actually may have been the hyaluronidase, but as I didn't wait long enough untill I did the microneedling it's hard to definitely point out the culprit.
Either way, nothing bad came out of my hyaluronidase in the end, it just took a couple of weeks for the reaction to settle.
My problem is discolouration and not volume or anything like that, so any prolonged erythema or reaction from the injection could've given the false impression of worsening.
So I don't want to freak anyone out about the hyaluronidase. It seemed to have helped me.
Sticking to microneedling for now, though, as the first week of discolouration was pretty traumatising to me as I had spent years getting better before that.

Update
It's still there. Almost 3 years later. Microneedling has helped it tremendously, but I lost patience and went for 2x more hyaluronidase treatments and the last one seemed to have made it worse. Everytime I go to a doctor I just pay half a fortune and end up worse. This is such a nightmare.
The only thing that has helped me has been a $3 dermastamp from eBay and some growth factor serums I got for free in exchange for before/after photographs.
Please, if there's anyone reading this who has gone or is going through something similar, let me know if you found/find any relief. I am going insane over this.

The fillers made my under eye bags worse, so I had this supposedly safe and reversable treatment reversed with hyaluronidase. 2 years later I am left with a horrible discoloration under my right eye, just where I wanted the shadow to go away, making it a lot worse. I've sunk into a deep depression, and the longer it takes without showing any sign of improvement, the more depressed I become.
I'll advice anyone to proceed with caution when considering fillers, as they are not nearly as safe as advertised. For me, it ruined my face, giving me a constant under-eye bag under my right eye regardless of lighting.

Provider Review
Dr. Ivan Pavlovic
Plastic Surgeon but seemed like an amateur on Restylane-injections under eyes and related procedures. At first he wanted to physically squeeze the Restylane out from under my eyes, but I managed to convince him to use the conventional method of hyaluronidase. Went for checkup 1,5 years later and he didn't seem to care at all, telling me how it's "barely noticable" and insinuating that I was to blame for making him use hyaluronidase - as supposed to squeezing which was unheard of from any other doctor.
