Botox and the cheek fat pad? What happened? What can be done to put the fat pad back in place?
CitySphinxAug 2, 2017
I had botox applied in the wrong place by a very inexperienced practioner, and it was near my cheeks- the muscles have relaxed and they are now unable to hold up the fat pad. Therefore the fat pad descends from the tear trough to the upper cheek, which gives the appearance of a chipmunk cheeks. It has been quite some time since the injection but the fat pad has not repositioned back to normal yet. Can this damage be permanent 9 months on?
