Cheek filler placed a month ago: is my best option to dissolve it from the cheek that didn’t need it or let it absorb?

just_beautiful100Aug 31, 2022
I had some cheek filler placed about a month ago (1 mil of Revolax SubQ in each cheek) . Whilst there was a need for it one side of face (suffering from palsy) the other side was plump enough and didn’t need it. Now I am considering whether my best option is to dissolve it from the cheek that didn’t need it or let time absorb it? I am worried about dissolving complications (don’t want sagging!) but leaving filler in where isn’t needed also makes me worry about skin stretching . Pls advise.

Dear Sugababes877Thank you for your question and for attaching the photos. It is not unusual to have severe swelling after injecting Hyaluronidase into old cyst, which has developed after lip treatment using HA.Looking at the photos and the fact that the lip treatment was done 6 years ago, the...
