Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. The filler was not placed in a manner which properly smoothed the area . It’s a simple fix: either add more filler where the “dents” are or dissolve and refill. See an oculofacial surgeon in person for detailed evaluation and guidance. Good luck,

It's difficult to say what occurred without an exam or before/after photos.  If you are not wanting to dissolve the product you can consider further treating the area to help with asymmetry.  Fillers will dissolve gradually over 1-2 years depending on the filler used.  I encourage you to return to your injector to discuss your concerns.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. I suggest you seek out a facial sculpting expert to discuss best next steps/ -Dr. Emer
