After filler I'm bloated and overfilled instead of chiseled cheeks?

memyself15Oct 15, 2017
I have a full face to start with. 1 year ago a ps injected 0.3 cc on top of the bone diveded in many micro boluses and created a beautiful sculpted cheekbone and lifted my lower face. I moved and went to a new doc .This time he injected 0.4 cc only in 3 spots and massaged the whole cheeks. I look just fat , no cheekbone definition just thicker skin over the cheek with more pronounced nl folds on top of it. What went wrong? Why i got perfect results the first time and now only a overfilled face?
