Question about botox or filler for strange upper cheek (Photo)

Question

Hello! I have a question about whether botox or filler could help this hollow and strange area above my cheeks (under my eye) when I smile I already hate the asymmetry of my cheeks and nasolabial area, but I'm told there isn't much that can be done there. However, the hollowing is newer and I'm wondering if botox might be an option to help with reducing muscle pull? I'm nervous about filler as I already have a pretty full cheek and midface area.

Thank you for your question and photo. Dermal fillers may be your best option for restoring lost volume in the upper cheek area. When administered by a skilled injector, the specific area needing treatment can be targeted, so the fullness of your cheeks should not be a factor. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to assess your concerns and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case from the photo it looks like there is some volume loss in the medial portion of your mid face so filler would be best to support this. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

You have obviously not seen an expert in rejuvenating this area. your problem should be easily treated with a filler. See a plastic surgeon who specializes in this area and is a master injector.
