Can cheek fillers drop? 3 months post op. (photos)

February 1, 2018
Asked By:sydneyborn in Harrisdale, 08

I had cheek fillers three months ago and was ecstatic with the result until recently I've noticed that they have seemed to drop. Now the plumpish part is lower around my nose / mouth area making my marionette lines look worse. Where the filler was injected on my cheek bone doesn't seem plump at all and you can see on the photo there is a dent in my cheeks. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do?

How can I get that hollow cheek look? Fillers? (photos)
David Alessi, MD - Account Suspended says:

You can achieve this with augmenting your cheek bones or hollowing out your cheeks.  The latter is done by reducing the buccal fat pad with an in-office intra-oral procedure.  Computerized imaging may help you decide.  Seek out a consultation with a board-certified surgeon.  Best wishes.

Can a filler go down from a big hit on the cheek? Got filler on the outer cheeks 3 weeks ago
Nissan Pilest, MD says:

I’m sorry to hear of your accident. We would first have to assess which filler your provider injected to understand if the product is malleable. Typically if filler was placed on the cheek bone it is very unlikely to have migrated. My best suggestion would be to ice the area, and follow up w...
