Can being on a medicine to increase one's metabolism shorten the lifespan of Voluma?

sw8689
I have had my cheeks injected with voluma twice since April of this year. The second time in early July, a different Doctor I went to, was surprised that I had had anything done in April at all. She suggested that I could be metabolizing the product very fast because of one of the medications I am on (Vyvanse). The volume is disappearing again. Is this a general problem with fillers? And if I have a fat transfer, will I have the same problem?
