Do I need to remove filler? (Photo)

April 15, 2024
Asked By:asdfsafm in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Please help, I have a scar that I tried to get filled. I looked great after leaving the clinic, but unfortunately the scar came back and looks even worse within 3 days. It's been a couple months. I have to me what looks like a ring of filler around the scar, highlighting it and making the atrophy even more pronounced. What should I do from here?
