PDO thread lift under eyes for sagging & wrinkles? (Photo)

AngieBeiMar 12, 2016
I had dermal filler in my cheeks which migrated under my eyes last year which has been successfully treated but has left me with a little sagging under my eyes and wrinkles extending into my cheek from the looser skin.
