Sculptra concern - what needs to be done? (Photo)

sanseg60May 6, 2024
I had my first sculptra February 2024 with my 3rd on April. I have extremely very hallow cheeks with very high cheekbones. So, I decided to get it done. I did tell RN to please only inject the hallow areas and not the top of cheeks for they are already very high. She did, but I recently noticed these 2 lines on my cheeks that are very noticeable. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t have the whole cheeks injected that’s why this has happened. What needs to be done? Help.
