Why Wouldn't Hyaluronidase Work for Dissolving Juvederm?

I've have had 2 series of injections to remove Juvederm around the corners of my mouth and have gone to 2 separate plastic surgeons to do this. It dissolved some above the upper lip where it wasn't supposed to, but nothing where it needed to. There are still palpable and visible lumps and columns of juvederm around my smile. I never looked this strange before. Is it common to take several tries and would it be risky for me to have hyaluronidase injected again in the same places?
