Hi there! I've got this hollow dent on my right upper cheek and don't know what to do about it. I've had it for a while now; at 10 years old, I hit my knee on my cheek while doing a few cartwheels and it affected the appearance of my face permanently.

It's generally safe to undergo dental scaling after receiving masseter Botox, nasolabial fold fillers, or cheek fillers. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
Timing: It's advisable to wait for at least 1-2 weeks after your treatments before having dental scaling. This allows...
A combination approach would give the most improvement. Deep wrinkles and smile lines can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works...
Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
