What happens to fillers as they wear off? Do they turn to scar tissue like Alloderm?

Asked By:irsi in Los Angeles, CA

So many famous patients of cosmetic surgery look unnatural and have crepey, unnaturally smooth or sagging skin in the areas I would like a more attractive contour without necessarily using implants--paranasal/nasolabial fold area, midface, and jaw. I'd like to know if that's due to repeated use of fillers and how to avoid that.
