Cheek fillers for malar lines - dissolve and start again/ add more/ or accept this is the best it will get? (Photo)

sarahlondon51May 27, 2022
Really hate my mid cheek lines and have had fillers to try and correct. Before picture (with makeup) and after picture (no makeup, 4 months on). I’m not sure it’s helped an awful lot and fear it’s just made my face look a bit wider and puffy (already had quite big cheeks). I don’t know if at this point I should consider having more added? Or do I need to dissolve and start again (which I imagine would cost a fortune). Or is this realistically something I can’t ever get rid of?

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
