Will dissolving Restylane dissolve ALL of it, or can it be used to bring down fullness slightly?

Had 1 syr Resty to lips, N/Ls, marionettes 7 wks ago. 5 wks ago had addtl syringe Restylane Silk to same areas. Face now feels too full. Also ridge lateral N/L line makes line worse. Also small bump. Can Dr use hyaluronidase to reduce fullness slightly and flatten ridge without losing everything completely? Will massage help? Does Resty naturally dissolve at a steady rate over 6-9 months -- or stay fairly steady then drop off sharply right at the end (like Botox). Are there risks to dissolving?
