Will I Need Fillers After Macs Face Lift Due to Uneven Jaw Line? (photo)

I had a macs face lift three months ago .I also had fat grafting to both cheeks as I had a thin face Unfortunately the fat just disappeared as my cheeks are still thin close to my mouth.I would like to know please will I need fillers to even out the jaw line ?I do not like injections and would prefer something more lasting than fillers which was why I had the face lift..I am pleased with the results but not completely so due to the jaw lines hollow on both cheeks.

Definitive face lift needed

The issue is unfortunately that while a MACS lift is appropriate for some, others like you will not see enough of a result to adequately correct your issues.
