Will Hyaluronidase Injections Affect Sliding Genioplasty Healing?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hi, I was wondering if a genioplasty could be be performed shortly (I.e. a week) after Hyaluronidase had been injected in the chin area to dissolve filler – would any soft tissue inflammation affect the outcome of surgery?

A: Hyaluronidase is an enzyme injectate that it placed into the soft tissues while a genioplasty, which I interpret to mean a bony procedure, lies beneath it. Thus the injections wold not interfere with the bony healing whether done before, during or after the surgery.
