MRI confirms fillers in chin area, dissolution? (Photos)

Question

Good morning, I had injections 3 times with a cosmetic doctor in 2019, 3x lips and 2x chin. I was complexed because I have a skeletal and dental class II with retrognathia so I wanted to increase the length of my lower face. Unfortunately the doctor who injected me was not very competent and he recommended too many syringes than I really needed. I didn't like the result and immediately aged and weighed down my face. I waited years for its complete dissolution but I lost very little initial.

I'm not sure what the question is, but you do bring up a very good point. Although we typically say that HA fillers will last 6 to 8 months, that does not necessarily mean that all of it will go away especially when a big bolus of filler is injected. Sometimes your body will encapsulate the filler or form scar tissue around it and it will stay there indefinitely. I usually recommend using small amounts of fillers at one time because you can always add to it but you can't always take it away. Fortunately, your results actually look pretty good.
