About 1.5 months ago I had 2ml hyaluronic acid filler injected in my lower face ( with cannula and "fanning technique", 1ml each side). I didn't like the result as it made my lower-face look wide, so I had it dissolved with hyalase over 2 rounds. However, my skin hasn't reverted back to its normal size.
