Hyaluronidase or Wydase 5 months after Juvederm

Can Hyaluronidase or Wydase get rid of Juvederm that has been in my face for five months already? I have had Hyaluronidase injected four different times with two different doctors over the last five months with little noticeable improvement. I had Juvederm Ultra injected around my mouth on the smile lines and was extremely unhappy and now, five months later, it looks like I might be stuck with these results for another five months by how long it is taking to dissolve. Could another injection with a different doctor maybe get rid of it, or is it pointless? Also, is Wydase any different? Could Wydase work where Hyaluronidase has failed? Help!
