dr injected voluma on one side of my cheek hollow bc he pointed out that my cheek hollow was deeper on one side. resulted in overfilled appearance on one side and asymmetry galore., loss of cheekbone. 5 rounds of hyaluronidase, but he is not putting hyaluronidase where voluma was injected and he is unyieling and says he put it in the back of the hollow, not under the hollow or in the front. pictures are self explanatory. where do i remove to get my face back? dr injected under smas. am i stuck?
