Will fillers make large pores on my cheeks look worse? (Photo)

A combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend lasers, microneedling/PRP, Peels like Cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist.

Thank you for your question.  I do not think getting filler in your cheeks would have significant effect on the appearance of your pores. You may benefit from regular use of Retin-A and/or additional resurfacing procedures. I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.  

No, fillers will not change your pore sizing to worsen them. If placed in the correct plane, dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can actually improve skin pores. Hence if you see an experience specialist fillers can be placed deep for augmentation of cheeks, and superficially for support and pore size reduction. Other methods to reduce pore size include-I find that
the most reliable method is with INFINI RF, micron needling using energy. This
beats all my Fraxel lasers and chemical peel techniques. Very little downtime,
and it is ideal for small to medium size pores.

Chemical
peels such as TCA (70-100%) placed focally in the pores is an excellent
treatment for large pores.

Pore size
reduction treatments should be tailored according to the patient IMO.
