Long lasting filler isn't gone after more than 4 years. Will it ever go away?

luluxx7Jul 11, 2022
I had a long lasting filler named Ellanse injected to my chin over four years ago. I already had juvaderm filler in my chin placed, so the ellanse was used to build up more volume and fill in where needed. the problem is, that it's still there. the juvaderm filler is long gone and I'm left with uneven, soft "fat spots" where the ellanse was placed. when I massage the area my skin gets red, but not the "fat spots" that are left white. will it ever go away?
