Malar edema after covid - will fillers help?

Fearless494073Mar 29, 2022
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?

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.
