Hyaluronidase DOES Dissolve Your Own Collagen - Tucson, AZ
ORIGINAL POST
Had restylane in my lips. Noticed a small lump...
Had restylane in my lips. Noticed a small lump above on the left top lip, very small area. Nurse offered to dissolve it, so I said okay. Within hour I could tell it looked worse, there was a dent in my left top lip that ad not been there before. Returned twice to add more filler to try to fix it. Lips filler is so painful imo that I finally just gave up on fixing it. I doubt it's noticable to others, but I see every imperfection in my face (I doubt I am alone in that respect ;) She kept saying it wasn't noticable, but I still notice it. I have pics I will see if I can find them. This may only happen with some people, but I caution you to think twice, because when it happens to you it's awful...

I had the same EXACT thing happen to me when I got my lips dissolved. I have a dent right above my lip that looks just like yours. It never filled in, so after three years I got the doctor to put some filler in there...and it only last 6 months. I thought the filler may keep the dent from ever showing up again, but the filler is wearing off and its starting to come back. That stuff does dissolve your own tissue.....I don't care what anyone says!

Totally agree. I had similar experience but with cheek area. It's improved a bit over 1 year both the dents and the skin texture, but I doubt it'll ever go back to what I used to have.

I also have a fine, deep line that extends across one side of my lip after injection of hylauronidase for over-fill. The crease is tight and horizontal, below the vermillion border. The skin is a bit looser than the other side of the lip. Of course, the nurse who injected (and who had always done a great, very refined job prior to this) says she can't see it, but I do. I'm just hoping it will resolve over time, and I realize now there is simply no guarantee there won't be complications with any foreign substance injected into the body.

Thanks for sharing. I had Pearlane injected into my under eye hollows about 2 weeks ago. It looked great for only a few days then I ended up with what looks like a permanent black eye. There was no bruising initially. Once the swelling went down there was some pooling under my left eye which is quite noticeable. I was thinking of getting it dissolved but am not so sure after reading these comments. Perhaps I will cover the color with foundation although can't do much about the bulge and wait until it disappears naturally! I wish I had just left it alone as it wasn't that bad to begin with!

Found pics
Before anything, after filler, after hyaluronidase / vitrase.
Like I said, prob only noticeable to me, but there are lots of similar stories. I would never do it again.

Hi, did you tissue/skin recover over time?

Hi I too just had filler dissolved today, my skin is red raw around where they injected the hylase, has anyone else experienced this reaction?

Yes mine has been going on for five months, my lips are swollen and red and I've seen 15 doctors :(

Try saline injections to get it out of your body. That stuff lingers for months and continues to do danage

I have the same thing but much worse and noticeable. I had Juvederm injected into top and bottom lips and over time it has left a dent in the middle of my upper lip. Very self conscious and aware of this. However, I didn't get my filler dissolved it's become this way overtime. I think if you click on my page you might be able to see for yourself. I know how you feel but if you take a look at mine it might make you feel better. The saying is really true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. I definitely have an appreciation for my old lips and don't know what to do about my current situation, too afraid to get anymore work done.

You look the same to me. I don't see a new dent that wasn't there before. The only thing that changes in your pictures is the angles and lighting; which obviously makes things look different.

I believe that vitrase does take a bit of our own tissue down. It's happened to me on my eye. for a small dent I had put filler in. Then it became a lump had it dissolved now lump still there and i have a dent type groove beneath the lump. Its a bit of a nightmare
