I've had fillers in my front cheeks, however it seemed to pronounce the hollowness near the back/sides near my jawline. Is it typical to fill this indent area side/back near jawline? What filler would be best? And is there a name for this area? (it seems every consultation I go to the Drs wants to fill the front of my face--which I do not need)--Thanks!

Sculptra lasts a long time. There is no way the injection is sterile going through the mouth. Unfortunately there will probably be a long smoldering infection that should get long term antibiotics. Don't think there is any better solution.
