For a long time I suffered with cystic hormonal acne that just appeared on one spot on my jawline. My derm injected a few smaller cysts with cortisone towards the end of September. Over time a dent on my jawline began to appear. It has now been three months. I’ve had 2 saline injections to hasten the healing process of the atrophy and have seen some (but minimal) improvement. Should I wait some more time before getting filler done for the area? What’s the best mode of treatment now?

Hi @prettycandy. I'm sorry you are not happy with your results. If a Hyaluronic Acid filler was used, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase.
Best of luck,

Hi @TooNic3! I recommend starting with 1 syringe per session. Regular Restylane and Belotero work great for the tear trough. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications....
Hi @JackieGRR! I recommend waiting a full two weeks for swelling to subside. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
