Juvederm Ultra Breaks Down from Day One?

toomuchfiller
I've had too much juvederm injected into my cheeks and am considering using hyaluronidase verses waiting for the product to dissipate on its own. The filler has not caused unsightly issues or pain, but my cheeks are much too big due to too much product being used. Does juvederm begin to break down from day one or does it remain intact for say 6-12 months and then breakdown? I had the filler injected two months ago since if it is reducing from day one, it may be a less risky option to wait
