I’d love to find out what could be suggested for these indents in my cheeks? as well as the over all tired appearance of my under eyes? One dr over filled my under eye with vobella giving a puffy appearance(pointed out by later dr) & said nothing could be done about the cheek indents due to us having a vein in that area...? The next dr suggested Botox as the indents aren’t as visa me when not smiling..but the Botox made zero difference..
