I was injected with Ellanse M in my cheeks in February 2020. And It looked grate for 6 months, but then it was like my cheeks just started to grow bigger and bigger. Now I look like a freak and it’s really embarrassing. How long will the Ellanse M last? Is it possible it will last longer than 2 years? I mean I’ve had it for 22 months now and it’s still growing.
