How Can Artecoll Be Reduced in Appearance?

I'd Artecoll injected on my jawline(rightside)because I lost a lot of facial fat from a therapy to treat a scar.

i looked very bad & agreed to it to correct the problem.My face ended up looking very assymetrical.A surgeon was able to remove some of it by doing a facelift approach & cut it out. However he was not able to remove all of it to avoid any nerve damage close to the mouth.I look better but still not normal,is there any laser that would help?or other procedure that can be done? please help
