@FridI would be glad to help you. I need pictures to give you a plan. Please take them with angled lighting making shadows, a flashlight is fine. The shadows help most. We can come up with a plan to do in Mexico even if you don't have a good Dr nearby.

To attach, choose, insert, draft, submit the pics.

BA

@FridThank You for providing those pics, that helps.

Fat loss in the cheeks. Rolling scars mainly and a few box cars.

Keeping in mind your in Mexico and said you have trouble finding a practioner. Can you call some of the dermatologists in Mexico city and see if they do subcision or at the dermatology school(where they teach it there) see if they do subcision. I would imagine the plastic surgeon's and dermatologists foreigners goto in Mexico might be able to do it but you would have to call around and see if they do cannular subcision. Check also whatever is popular in Mexico to post videos and look for the Spanish word for Subcision and mexico or the city.

I see subcision helping you most you need 3-4 sessions. IF you cannot afford the cost of filler which you need you can do Chinese cupping(order online) after your subcisions.

At home I want you to do microneedling monthly and alternate with TCA chemical peels. If you have a nearby medical spa goto there if you feel more comfortable having them do it.

If anywhere around you has rf needling have them do a few sessions or you can do laser if you cannot find it.

I know all this seems overwhelming and expensive but space it out when you have the time and money.Some treat over many years. Everything is optional.

I want you to use a retin-a or tretinorin or differin cream nightly, they have to sell those over the counter in mexico as people go across the border for those things. Also use a lightening cream with this that has ingredients like konjac or licorice, etc... This will make cell turnover and prevent hyperpigmentation.

The main thing you really need is several subcision and several mls of filler in your cheeks which will make them look much better.

If you can't find anyone you could always do a quick visit to Dr Rullan in San Diego.

If you find anyone in Mexico who does subcision let me know so I can help others in Mexico.
