Why don’t more doctors practice ligament release with a blunt tipped cannula for treatment of tear troughs?

I’ve read a few medical articles about this new approach to treating this area. I’ve had initial success with dermal fillers, but after a few years the filler starts to migrate and get old, and I get a slight Tyndall affect, that previously wasn’t there. It seems like the release of the ligament in the tear trough greatly improves the problem without (or at least with a whole lot less of) an HA filler. Will more doctors start to practice this soon?
