How can Ellanse filler be melted or removed?

Question

I got ellanse filler 3 months ago, and I honeslty don't think I needed it, as I look back, but I still got it done. i was injected in the mid cheels and nasolabial areas, with 0.2 only in each side. I had severe swelling for a month and now my face looks too puffy and its such an effort to smile a full smile, it feels like a workout for my face, from how stretched I feel. (I look normal to ppl, but I know my face). I also got thick lumps under my skin. how do i get rid of the lumps and filler?

I suggest a formal consult, radiofrequency and 5fu/steroid injections often help unless there are surgical options. This is not an FDA approved filler and is used in other countries.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It doesn't sound like you really have a problem since you didn't need the filler, you got so little injected and no one else sees any problems. I'm not sure that this filler is FDA approved as it is not listed on the FDA's website. If its not approved, I would suggest filing a complaint against your provider as it is against the law to administer any non-FDA approved medications to anyone in US.
