Do my fat pads have a chance to come back naturally given my age (19)? (Photos)

Question

Had acne scars and got M8 in hopes to reduce them. 5 sessions: Jun, Jul, Aug, Oct (‘22) & May this year. Helped scars but melted under eye fat pads. First 2 sessions were at a seperate clinic which I think is responsible (used 2mm by eyes). Noticed a difference overnight 7mo after first treatment. New clinic (last 3 sessions) were super helpful and were aware of the damage - done PRF with them since. My Q: do my fat pads have a chance to come back naturally given my age (19)? Will attach pic

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
