Abnormal Facial Symmetry In Cheeks. What Do You Recommend? (photo)

I isolated one side of my face and excercised it extensively for months because i had chubby cheeks and wanted to get rid of it. As a consequence after i lost weight and my cheeks naturally became slim.. one side changed (bigger it seems) and it looks completely different from the other side. What can be the course of action in terms of plastic surgery? Thank you!
