Hi! I am 34 years old petite 5’0 115-120 lbs and have “malar lines”. There’s hollowness directly under my eye but my main issue is this line/indentation I have that runs from my tear trough down to my cheek. I’ve researched that my issue is the cheek/malar junction or something. I had fillers once and dissolved, didn’t work. Fat graft? Heard it’s a hard area to treat. Help! :) and who is the best for this delicate area?
