How can I remove Artefill from nasolabial folds? The area feels hard like cement.

Asked By:kaylee12345 in Vancouver, BC

I have Artefill injected on nasolabial fold multiple times over the years. My nasolabial fold area is very fleshy and fatty and the Artefill makes it worse. The area feels hard like cement. My questions: 1. Can surgical excision be done using intraoral incision? Artefill is localized on my smile line about 1 inch long. 2. Can I have nasolabial fold subcision to release the skin with Artefill in the subcision area? 3. Can I remove Artefill during bullhorn liplift using the liplift incision?
