Hyaluronic acid does not get absorbed?

onyxx
4 and 3 years ago I had my lips injected with 1 and 0.5 ml of hyaluronic acid (Stylage). I am concerned by the fact that it literally won't get absorbed by my body! The volume of my lips near the corners decreased a bit, but the middle parts of both lips are still very full. While I am not unhappy with the results I started to think that it might be dangerous to my health to still have filler inside? Could anyone advise me on what might be the reason? Was the filler injected too deep?
