had ellanse fillers in my cheeks 18 months ago, afterwards I had hardness in the cheek my Dr said it would go away. I had silhouette soft threads in same area the hardness was still there I was told it would go away. It never went away, I thought it would last year because thats how long the filler lasted. A year later started having bumps under my skin and when they weren't going away I went back to my Dr and Got second opinion and was told would go away. Getting worse & have 7! Very scared.
