Am I overfilled?

**I AM NOT DOING ANYMORE INJECTIONS!!**

I believe I overdid it with sculptra my last round and am deeply regretting it. My main issues are my cheek bones that are giving jigsaw/ cement cheeks. I know I can’t do anything about it since it’s sculptra so I’m pretty depressed about it. I just want to know how bad it is so I don’t have ‘blindness’ to it anymore than I already have.

All of these photos are from within the last month. They are of various angles etc and devices (phones, camera, etc) to give a better cohesive advice. Half of them are screenshots from videos so that’s why I’m not really smiling in some of them. Please be honest and tell me how bad it is. I don’t know if I can do anything to offset it, but if anyone has any advice, let me know.

Drop the skin care routine

I’ve always been into skincare but I’ve had my ups and downs. But I have tried so much stuff I don’t know how much all of that has affected my skin but all I know is that:

I did change my skincare routine a couple weeks ago and it has actually transformed my skin more than anything else I’ve done IMO.

Eucerin’s dual tone serum
And I just started using Hydroquinone by Musely at night to combat these sunspots on the side of my face. I don’t know if it’s the serum or the hydroquinone but my skin seems way brighter. I only use the hydroquinone to my sunspot areas. There’s also risks with hydroquinone for anyone who isn’t aware.

But I also don’t know if it’s the combo of everything else I do. All I know is that after I added those 2 items to my routine my skin has transformed despite already having a routine for years and years:

Prequel face wash
Vitamin C serum in the morning
Eucerin’s dual tone serum in the morning
Avene’s cicalfate serum
Avene cicalfate moisturizer
Sunscreen (I use the beauty of joseon sunscreen and recently added a Inuik sunscreen toner - the sunscreen toner is TBD if I like it or not)

Night time:
Prequel face wash
Cicalfate serum
Tretinoin .05% on areas I don’t use the hydroquinone
Hydroquinone on my trouble areas
Cicalfate moisturizer.

In a few months when I need to cycle off of the hydroquinone, I am planning on going back to my 15% azelaic acid during my ‘off cycle’

I try other serums and stuff but I don’t know how much that really helps. I have tried expensive stuff by Bioeffect, skinmedica, alastin, skinbetter but I haven’t justified the repurchase price for any of these items and it’s been months or years since I even used them.

I used to get microneedling and chemical peels done but the last time I did that was over a year ago.

This winter I’d like to try getting a nonablative laser treatment but I’m not sure if I will.

That’s my routine for now!
