This is not filler but my muscle/fat protruding. Is cheek filler pushing it out?

The issue you are experiencing with the protrusion in your cheek area, which you describe as muscle and fat, may be influenced by several factors. Since you mentioned that this was present before getting any filler, it is likely a natural anatomical characteristic of your face. The addition of cheek filler can sometimes accentuate pre-existing features by adding volume, which might be why you notice the protrusion more now.

If the filler is contributing to the prominence of the muscle and fat, dissolving it might reduce the visibility of the protrusion, but it may not completely eliminate it since the underlying muscle and fat are naturally occurring. It’s important to discuss your concerns and expectations thoroughly with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can provide a detailed assessment and recommend the best course of action based on your unique facial structure.

In some cases, other treatments such as facial contouring or muscle-relaxing injections could be considered to address the issue if the filler is not the sole cause. A personalized consultation will help determine the most appropriate approach for your situation.
