What can I do about shadow/pigment and indentations on my face? (Photo)

Question

I have had pigment on my upper cheek for several years. I have had different lasers, microneeding, and even some fillers and nothing has changed the texture of my skin. It is difficult to see in the picture, but i have a fat pad just above that pigment line. It also seems as if my cheek fullness has dropped closer to my nose??? What are my options for fixing?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients. Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
Hope this helps.

This can be improved with a combination of fillers, Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
