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

Sociable598280Aug 2, 2022
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.

By injecting a small amount of Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau into this area, the muscles will relax, causing the hard, deeps lines to smooth and improving the lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to six months. I suggest getting a formal...

Botox injected into the cheek will not correct your asymmetry. I encourage you to visit with an expert injector to discuss your concerns. Botox is often used to help improve asymmetry, and sometimes adding filler is indicated. An in person evaluation is best.
