Abstract

A 62-year-old woman received injections of Restylane, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, for the cosmetic filling of facial rhytids and developed a severe dermal inflammatory reaction. Hyaluronidase administered directly in the inflammatory nodules resulted in rapid resolution of pain, palpable nodularity, and visible induration possibly due to dissolution of the hyaluronic acid.
