I had 1 syringe of volume injected onto and below my cheek bones and the apple of the cheeks in October. I hate the effect it has changed to shape of my face, and I wish I 'd never done it. I would like to know how long it really lasts. The injector told me it would last for a year but since then I have been hearing some scary stories of it lasting much longer ie 6 years. If I get it dissolved will it ruin my cheeks? Help!

I suggest a formal consult. I rarely directly inject the folds nowadays. Folds are often a result of loss of volume in the cheek or early skin sagging. You may need filler around or under the folds to lift. Best, Dr. Emer.
