Hyaluronidase

I have had filler for about 15 year. I started to react after my cancer treatment and just went to have it removed. They used Hyaluronidase but not I feel lumpy and some spots feel like a rubber ball. I have never had permanent filler would you know what else I can do to get it out

Procedure: Injectable Fillers
Location: Provo, UT

Assuming that the filler is Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronidase should dissolve it. Based on the type of the Hyaluronic Acid used, some formulations require multiple session with hyaluronidase to dissolve all the material provided it is injected in the same tissue level of the filler.

Angel,

Sometimes it takes several sessions of hyaluronidase injections to completely dissolve the filler. You may just need more. Try another session of injection to see if you still respond to it. If not, then sometimes the lumpy can be corrected with reinjection of HA's. Good luck!
