Dissolved fillers after developing malar mounds. Filler after dissolving? Now what? (photos)

Jakob99Mar 31, 2024
I developed malar mounds from fillers done 3.5 years ago, and after consulting here and with a specialist, had them dissolved. The first round of dissolution helped a lot, but the second round (which I shouldn't have allowed) left sagging and volume loss on my right side. The specialist recommended PRF, but it's pricey and sounds gimmicky. Should I do that or contour with filler? Lasers? Surgery? What now? I think I made the problem worse by trying to solve it in the first place.

Hello buffyangel: You absolutely can get great results with tear trough filler if you have thin or translucent skin. The filler should be placed deep, over the bone, so that you do not see a blue effect called the Tyndall effect from reflection of blue light hitting the skin by the filler....
