Hi – I had a “liquid facelift” (Restylane) 3 years ago. The jawline filler migrated to my jowls & the cheekbone filler slid toward the midline to make my mid-face puffy. Because the filler could have integrated with tissue & there are no discrete lumps, would ultrasound guided dissolution be best? If so, how do to find a doctor who does this procedure? I have searched but don’t see it advertised. Thanks!

An in person evaluation is needed to determine what may be causing your concerns. It would be uncommon for filler injected nine years ago to still be present and causing issues. A board certified plastic surgeon should be able to give you recommendations after an examination.
Yes you should be able to have your filler treatment despite your allergy. Many dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid which is naturally occurring in the body. See an expert injector near you to learn more.
