Omg, I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you! How are you now? Have you thought of cheek implants?
Thank you. I still have scaring and indention in cheek. I asked a doctor about that and he didn’t recommend it. I don’t remember why. He told me Restylane Would be better option and it would have same effect as Juvederm. And he was wrong. Had to have IV oxygen therapy treatments to address infection
So unlucky.there must be a plastic reconstruction surgeon who can address that. Where are you located? Dr. Lee in Los Angeles deals with that sort of things and all the complicated cases
I live in Dallas Texas
If you can take the trip, it would be worth seeing dr. Harrison lee or at least talk to him over the phone to see whether he can help you. He handles the most complicated cases.
Thank you
