Is this bad cheek filler? Please help :-( (photo)

I went to a plastic surgeon to get under eye fillers because I had a slight indent, sunken in eye look. The surgeon said I did not need any filler under my eye and instead suggested I get cheek fillers instead. I was told that it would help. It’s been 2 months now and and it looks awful, the sunken in look is even worse now. Should I get the product dissolved or add more filler to the under-eyes a that was left untreated? I am very depressed about this and would love to receive any advice.

It is common to have swelling and even some bruising for a couple weeks after fillers, so it's still too soon to tell what your final results will be. If the swelling persists, be sure to return to your physician (or see a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert) for a formal...
