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!
