Fat Transfer Can Be Reversed
Fat transfer to the cheeks can be reversed. Micro-liposculpture with small cannulas can be performed to remove some volume. Seek consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best.

Fat graft reduction
I have been doing fat grafts for about 15 years and over that time treated many contour irregularities. Sometimes it can be as simple as microliposuction, particularly in a cheek.
