My Acne is pretty much under control and I need to get scars fixed. My Key concerns are (a) PIE and Generalized redness (not really visible in pics), I haven't had acne there in years but for some reason parts of my face are still red. (b) Enlarged Pores (c) Volume Loss - Very apparent on one cheek. (d) Box scars (I think that's what some of the scars are). Which procedures and in which order should I get? Is Fat transfer better than a filler for volume loss in cheeks?
