Did Filler in the Cheeks Worsen Nasolabial Folds?

Los Angeles CA4561
I recently had radiesse in my mid-cheek area to replace a bit of early fat loss (I'm only 31). I also had a little juvederm on either side of my nose just below the eye hollows at the top of my cheeks where I had slight horizontal indentations. However, I feel like my cheek folds, which I've had since I was a kid, have gotten much worse. Is it possible that the filler is pressing down to deepen the fold? My face looks puffy in the cheeks but saggy in the middle after the filler . . .
