My face won't go back to original. Have I caused permanent damage? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I stared with fillers maybe 5 years ago, i did it for 3 years then didnt do it again, but during that short time i did put in alot of fillers in my face, dont know how much, but much more then you should. Some of my face looks normal again, but my cheeks are still alot rounder the it was originally, ive used filler dissolvent multiple times but it still persists. My fillers are not permanent ones and are of the type you should be able to dissovle. Have i caused permanent damage to my face

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend dissolving some of the filler if you are unsatisfied with your results. I hope this helps and best of luck!

HA fillers are not permanent and will gradually be metabolized over time.  You can return to your injector to determine if any filler remains.  Other changes that can influence the appearance of your face are weight gain/loss, aging, environmental factors, as well as allergies.
