Ever since I got filler in my cheeks i get a dent or ridge in my cheeks when smiling. After several consultations with different Drs I haven't been able to find a doctor that has been able to identify the issue and correct it yet. I saw a doctor on social media address this issue as having filler placed in the wrong plane, but this Dr doesn't do filler anymore, only speaks about it on social media. Looking for a skilled Dr in LA area that is familiar with the issue stated above.
