Face shadows - would microneedling or Retin-A get rid of this or do I need filler? (Photo)

Asked By:lola11607 in Los Angeles, California

I have a shadow shaped like a ‘y’ on the left side of my lower cheek that is visible when looking straight at me head on. Not visible when you actually look at the side of the face. Would microneedling or retin A get rid of this or do I need filler? ( Pic 2 is side view )
