ridding Juvederm lumps 9 months later?

I had Juvederm injections done under my eyes and in my laugh lines 9 months ago.  The filler under my eye were too swollen and the doctor removed some of it but she did an uneven job and 9 months later, I still have lumps under my eyes and lumpiness under my laugh lines.  Can Hyaluroidase still dissolve the product 9 months later?   Will Hyaluroidase  melt away natural fat/tissue or just the product? Also, some days the swelling/lumps are much more dramatic than other days.  Do you know what could be causing that?

I had Juvedrem injected December 2003  and still have large lumps around my moth area and laugh lines!!!  
I had a filler put in four years before that was badly put in and never disolved. I went to a Plastic Surgeon to disolve it.  It created  small dents and lines so it was injected with Juverderm, but, it seemed to miss the spots.  She(the nurse) put in so much Juverderm that I have numerous lumps.  I want them gone, but, I'm concerned about creating another problem.  When she injected me she also injected from inside my mouth.

I also had juvederm to my tear troughs and it has been horrible.  I have had two follow up appointments with my surgeon and will have dissolved in the next week but am now rethinking whole process...  whether to leave well enough along but would much rather at least have the appearance before process.  I had my procedure performed seven weeks ago and have lumps and swelling (inconsistently -- really bad some days and others not so bad).  Overall I am really upset with myself as I was trying to improve my looks and actually damaged my appearance in the end.
