Hello, i had ellanse done 5 years ago wrongfully by a practiontioner who told me it was dissolvable. It was my first time having filler so i wanted my cheeks plumping a lil bit. I signed a princess filler paper and she injected more on one side of my face than the other since i had less volume. I was 23 at the time im now 28. I have hard lumps my face sticks out. Please dont tell me to go to my practioner ive already done that and shes denying everything. Im very upset. How can i get it removed?
