What can be done about light skin discoloration after cheek filler? (Photo)

March 8, 2023
Asked By:Blake2 in Warwick, Rhode Island

I noticed, on both cheeks, months after filler was used, almost identical patches of lighter skin patches appearing in those areas. I didn’t notice them afterwards but they seem even lighter now. Is this anything that can be done to avoid this next time? I don’t want to complain.
