Do I need to dissolve (potentially) migrated lip filler before reinjecting? (photos)

Asked By:taralafleur in Paris, Île-de-France, France
I have been filling my lips for about 8 years now. Always using juvederm. Recently I reached out to a new practicioner who told me I would need to dissolve it all to get my lips reinjected. It has now been exactly 7 months since my last injection and I do not feel like my lip filler has migrated but I could be wrong. I would like to avoid having to dissolve anything before reinjecting. Is this process necessary or can the migrated filler ( if real) dissolve on its own?
