I have scar tissue in my cheeks from implant removal 2 yrs ago. I've used fillers and then hyaluronadaise to shrink the filler. I haven't had an injection for months but every few weeks 1 of my cheeks will fill up with a big pocket of fluid. My cheek looks like it is twice the size than usual.

Thanks
