AVM on face

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and has had a VM on her jaw line since her birth. She has now had 5 alcohol injections at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

It appears to have gone down in size a little but it now appears to be creeping across her chin and lips. Is there surgery that can be performed to remove these? She has gone through a lot at such an early age and we would like quicker results.
