I got Silikon 1000 five years ago. The past year I notice one cheek is bigger & higher than the other. When I smile it actually makes wrinkles under my eyes on the side that's bigger. Can I get it dissolved with a steroid shot or something overtime? I don't want lipo for fear of dents on my face. Can Kenalog help? I live in Georgia. Please help. My cheeks were nice at first. I liked them. Don't understand how they became like this. I'm actually scard to smile sometimes because it looks strange.

People with acne scarring tend to have both high and low areas on their faces. If you have a few raised areas after microdroplet Silikon1000, this may be definitively improved with light electrosurgery with a Hyfrecator. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
