How to Remove Fat Graft from Cheeks?

I had fat graft on my upper cheeks. And it is way too much. I had 9 cc. on each side, plus I'm not Caucasian. I have tried my own silly way like putting a hot cloth on my cheeks hoping it would dissolve some fat. Now, I'm in the seventh month, and my cheeks still seems like it could explode. Is there any way I could remove all the fat in non-surgical ways? I have heard 1. Cheek muscle exercise 2. Cheek massage by therapists 3. Ultrasound Could there be anything else that is really effective?
