Injector placed filler dissolver where there was no filler? (Photo)

Question

My injector placed filler dissolver where there was no filler. I am left with this dent in my skin. I’m assuming it destroyed my natural hyaluronic acid. Will my body create new hyaluronic acid to fill the dent? Is there anything I can do to help create it? Are there any supplements I can take? Would microneedling help? Is the dent permanent? How long until it gets better? Will it ever return to normal?

Before I would assume that it was the hyaluronidase that destroyed your own tissues and created this indent, I would go over the photographs prior to any form of treatments. In your case, or in anyone else’s case, if there is loss of hyaluronic acid in the tissues, it will not magically reappear. I would recommend that you undergo fat grafting in order to restore the lost volume in that area as well as the whole face. In the right hands there results would be extremely natural and practically permanent while making you look 15 to 20 years younger. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
