Do fillers migrate but never fully go away?

December 13, 2019
Asked By:runner27 in Washington, MO

I recently have seen videos and heard from several plastic surgeons that filler never fully goes away, it just migrates, especially if it is not under bone. Should a filler patient be concerned that this will eventually cause jowling and sagging?
