Is it possible that hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers don't really dissolve on their own?

Asked By:TNGA in Nashville, Tennessee

I've read some reports recently and seen some doctors on YouTube claiming that MRI studies prove that HA fillers don't actually dissolve naturally. When it appears that they are reducing in volume, it is actually because the fillers have migrated to different areas of the face. I know most fillers are marketed as lasting under 2 years, but most people I've talked to claim their filler lasts much longer or forever. Is there any truth to this?
