Patience is key with fat grafting

The results become appearant after the first 4-6 weeks with some massaging and molding of the graft site. After that,you want to have a critical and objective assessment of volume, position, symmetry etc. Small areas of asymmetric fullness can be treated with corticosteroid injection but you need be careful not to cause subdermal...

Fat graft to cheeks
A critical point is how long has the graft been in place. If very recent [ under 1 month] , I suggest waiting.

It would be done on a monthly basis , with a cautious approach, to assess the progress & not cause unsightly indentations.

Dissolving grafted facial fat
One non-invasive way to decrease the grafted facial fat include steroid injection. I would wait at least 18 months after your surgery before trying to dissolve the fat, though as the grafts evolve until that time. It would be best to make sure you have a firmer end point before revising anything.

Fat grafting will resorb partially.
You have not provided information regarding how long it has been since the fat grafting too place. Fat will tend to resorb by about 40-60% [and sometimes more] over a period of a few months, so give it time and see how things settle. Focal areas may be treated with steroid injections, but again photos, front view, side view, and three quarter view would be helpful to see contours
