I had a facial fat injected from my own body back in 2009 in Seoul, Korea. At that time my face was very round and deformed. Today, after 3 years I am very unhappy with the results. There are internal lumps in my cheeks, the corner of my lips look like a sad person and my face are complete different. I used to have a petite oval face shape, now I am not sure what it looks like. I look horrible in pictures, I am self-concious and I feel ugly. Please, I need help.

Very interesting. I'm sure it can be done but I don't know anyone who has done it. I presented many years ago to the ASAPS all the less common areas for fat grafting. I'm sure with careful googling you can find a doctor who does this
Where the skin is thin there is the potential for some lumpiness with fat transfer, but this can be minimized. One way is to use smaller amounts, another is to stage it in more than one sesison.
