I had subcision on both temples for acne scars about 5 weeks ago, with Stylage HA filler (0.5 mL injected into each temple).

After the procedure I had swelling, and during the first several weeks I noticed some lumps/swelling that gradually went down.

What concerns me is that I now have a visible indentation/crease on my temples that wasn't there before the procedure.

I cannot feel a physical dent, lump, or tethering when I touch the area. It's mainly a visual contour change.

I'm wondering:

• Could this be a delayed effect of subcision? and is this permanent?
• Could it be related to the Stylage settling or uneven distribution?
• If it doesn't improve, what would normally be done to correct it?

I'm especially interested in hearing from dermatologists/plastic surgeons or anyone who has experienced something similar after subcision + filler.
