Could fillers still be in cheeks nearly 3 years later causing a “shelf”? (photos)

Asked By:Mia_Wallace_ in Los Angeles, CA

Can Voluma XC still be on upper cheeks & causing a line when I smile. In the tear trough I got Restylane. When I smile it looks different than before the filler now it looks like a shelf, line is pronounced and crisp. It made me look better with a neutral face. When I feel the area it feels like product is there. I’m wondering if that is still possible, initially I went back & to address the line he added more but it didn’t help. Could Botox lessen the appearance?
