The collagen did not leave long term problems as the collagen completely dissolves. The aging process has left you with lines that you don't like. Without seeing you, it is hard to say what procedure can benefit you. See a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in consultation to determine what's best for you. Laser resurfacing, fillers, or even Botox are all alternatives.
