From your photos, I would be cautious about labeling this as a recessed maxilla. That diagnosis requires proper facial examination, bite assessment, and sometimes cephalometric imaging. Your facial proportions do not appear dramatically deficient from the photographs alone. If your goal is...

Hi there, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Persistent inflammation after a PMMA-based filler such as Bellafill can be particularly frustrating, especially when the reaction is diffuse rather than presenting as discrete nodules. Because PMMA is a permanent filler, management can be more cha...

What you’re describing is actually a very common but often misunderstood facial contour issue.
