How can I get rid of water retention from Juvederm filler?

matty1997Feb 21, 2020
I had Juvederm Volift cheek fillers a while ago now and was initially happy with the results but after a month or so instead of giving structure it just made me look like I had put weight I wasn’t sure why this was but after researching now believe this to be due to water retention of Juvederm. My question is if I had Hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler will that only dissolve the HA and the water absorbed remain? If this is the case how can I get rid of that water retention? Thanks
