I have mid cheek grooves/malar bags. After Restylane injection, it looks even worse. Can this be fixed?

Asked By:Bmn02 in Birmingham, AL

I have had Restylane filler added 6 days ago. It seems like the filler may have been place right above the crease which could possibly making it appear worse. Will the filler settle in? Should I have more filler added? It’s making me very self conscious.
