Does my lack of metabolism affect my treatments?

Asked By:Generous591551 in England, United Kingdom

10 years ago I had a total thyroidectomy and radiation treatment after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and have been on replacement thyroxine ever since. I had lip fillers injected nearly 5 years ago and I have noticed that it hasn't ever metabolised, not even a bit in this time. I love my lips so it's not a problem more of a curiosity which has lead me to asking if my lack of a thyroid gland is the reason they have never gone down to normal like everyone else I know of?
