What can be done for discoloration after fillers to mask festoons? (Photos)

March 19, 2022
Asked By:Tasteful208724 in Revere, Massachusetts

I got fillers about 3 months ago around my cheekbones to mask festoons. A week in, there was discoloration, but my doctor said it was still healing. Two months later, I went back in, concerned it was the Tyndall effect. He said it’s not—it’s just discoloration, and there’s nothing that can be done and I just have to wait for it to go away. I feel he’s not being honest. Thoughts?
