Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Metabolized Within a Week?

sim2500
Is it possible for hyaluronic acid fillers to be metabolized within a week? I had 2 injections done on a shallow depressed scar. Initial results were good but after the swelling died down, the depression came back. I can't feel any filler at all and the doc has no answers. Two subcisions were done before the injections
