How do I get my old face back? (Photo)

AlisaKotovaDec 11, 2023
I have had undereye filler and then I have had it dissolved. I now look like my own older sister and my self esteem has suffered significantly. What can I do to get my old face back? Should I get facial fat transfer ?

I'm not sure imaging would help in this case. This is extremely thin skin and you likely have some fat which has become scarred. It could be removed if it bothers you.

In very selective cases fat grafting of the upper eyelids may be a good option. However, that requires a true expert otherwise you may end with bad result. Start searching for such a surgeon and be very thorough in your research. Good luck.
