Never had any filler. Have lost volume to upper cheek also effecting lower lid drop etc. Longer term will have fat transfer but is it safe to have nonscaring filler in mean time? Can it mean that fat transfer won't 'take' as successfully or at all in that area if I do? might it jeopardise success and longevity of this procedure and would any filler need dissolving beforehand regardless. don't want to make FT impossible later! want to avoid hydrolase too ideally.
