Does filler actually dissolve over time or does it migrate to different areas of the face?

January 28, 2020
Asked By:ochiexx in Brooklyn, NY

I was reading a few articles on NCBI and saw studies showing that patients that have not had filler in 5+ years still had filler in their face which was supposedly proven with MRI imaging. This claimed that for example getting cheek filler over time can actually make your face appear more round as it is migrating to different areas of the face. Is there any truth to these articles? If yes, what would someone whose had filler done before do to get rid of the migrated filler in their face?
