What happens to dermal face filler during and after a facelift; should I had dissolved my filler before facelift?

510baby
I have had filler numerous times prior to my surgery. The most recent round of dermal filler was about 6 months before my mid-facelift. Should I had removed the filler before the surgery? I forgot to mention to my surgeon that I had recently gotten filler. Will it negatively impact the results? Was it “in the way” of anything, like tissue? What happens to face filler during and after a facelift?
