Hi! I Had covid late December and developed terrible malar mounds after. I’ve had bloodwork and ophthalmology assessment and I’m normal. But, I do have I going sinus issues that I’m addresssing via balloon sinusplasty (Ct scan showed chronic pansinusitis).I’d say covid isn’t relevant but I’ve never had bags, neither has anyone in my family. My mom (66) had covid after me - and boom, same thing. I’m 36. questions: 1) will sinus procedure help? 2) will fillers help?

Swelling on one side of the cheek after using a pore cleaner, especially if it was used vigorously or involved suction, could potentially relate to the previous cheek filler. Although it has been a year since the filler was administered, certain factors could cause localized reactions. Here are...
It looks like it is filler vs. festoon. I would try to get it dissolved and see if it gets better (assuming it was a dissolvable kind). If not, you might need to have it opened/explored for removal, in which case I would recommend going to an expert in periocular plastic surgery.
It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
