I had previously had some silicone injections in my cheeks (not a lot probably 1ml for both cheeks or so) and this was in about 2012 I am now looking to get some FDA approved fillers but am not sure if the previous fillers have dissolved or not- I barely see any cheek whatsoever and have never had any issues or anything. I am looking to upgrade my look and I just feel my cheeks are a main part I’ve always wanted to do a lot more on. Is it safe to get the filler?
