In mid 2018, I received filler in tear trough area (from a DO, FACS) After there were obvious white mounds. In Jan 2020, the Dr told me that this was because of volume loss. He gave me filler again. It is now 2 months after the fillers and I feel the results are dreadful. I told him that I want to lose the white mounds because I look like a reverse raccoon. The Dr says he doesn't know why and he didn't have a suggestion. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts. Thank you kindly in advance!
