How true is it, that the longer fillers remain in the face the more they stretch your skin long-term?

Asked By:Mariusses in New York, NY

One surgeon told me this. He also said with longer-term fillers (like sculptra/radiesse/) the tissue will continue to swell (especially if over corrected/ injected or one has an allergic reaction) and stretch the appearance of the skin unnaturally for years to come?
