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

Question

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.

Putting filler into the cheek will often help to decrease the hollowing of the lower lid. However you still have some hollowing laterally.  This can be helped by adding some HA filler into that area.  That would help to smooth out the transition from cheek to lower lid.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
