Is the volume (collagen) from Radiesse permanent?

Forza123
As part of an acne scar treatment I was pushed into subcision with Radiesse (1:1, 1ml total for both cheeks) on the spot instead with basically no information about the treatments. Its been over a year (april 2023) and the volume is still here very noticeably. I never wanted to change my face, just improve the scars. Im losing hope the visual changes (chubby cheeks) will ever go back to before (the 18 months are a lie). One derm told me the new collagen is permanent. Have you seen it go away?
