Does Hyaluronidase also dissolve some of your facial fat along with the filler?

faith2711
I am contemplating a facelift. I already have filler in my cheeks, along jawline and chin. The surgeon talked of fat grafting. I asked if we would need to dissolve my filler so he can see what he's working with. He said yes, if I don't mind doing that. I later read Hyaluronidase can also dissolve some fat. Since I know grafting doesn't last forever I am concerned about even losing more fat in my face. I lost some with Ultherapy.
