Can this dent in my face be fixed with under eye filler? (Photo)

Hi there! This is a great question. Unfortunately, the "dent" you are seeing is not all that rare. Sometimes, when filler is placed in the area under the eye (tear trough), or middle of the cheek, it causes what is called the zygomatic cutaneous ligament to sort of pop up, making the area beneath it appear indented. This can also happen naturally. If you feel this came up after having filler, the best course of action is to attempt to have that filler dissolved. This will often remedy the situation, and then you can try filling the under eye again, and hopefully the ligament is avoided. If it came up naturally, then you can have your injector fill the area beneath it very conservatively. You want the transition between the under eye and cheek to be smooth, but not bulky. From personal experience, I had this come up under both eyes, after having them filled. I never attempted to dissolve it and it is still there, nearly 10 years later; not as bad, but definitely there. I do feel that the degree of which I can see it depends on my weight, and most certainly the lighting and angle of pictures. I hope this information helps you make a decision on how to move forward. Good luck!

Nice posted photos demonstrating unusual dent in medial tear trough. Any history to this or was it present as a child? I might under local anesthesia to sharply release the under dermis connections to deeper muscle/fascia than add micr fat grafts. Fee $3,000. Best to virtual consult with...
