I Regret Laser Cheek Liposuction and Chin Implant - Can It Be Reversed?

I had both procedures done 3 months ago and now I regret it very very very very very much, it had destroyed my confidence and ruined my life. There are two lines next to my nose and two lines near my eyes, I look like I'm worn out or that I've aged dramatically. Is it possible to remove the chin implant and put back the fat so that it goes back to the way it was?? My face appears too flat now, would inserting a cheek implant/fat make me look more youthful again? =( I just want to be myself again

Unfavorable results following laser liposuction to face and chin implant

In most cases, the chin implant can be easily removed but it truly depends on its composition and methods of fixation. Fat grafting may be beneficial for the face but given your experience, you may want to try fillers first. In the event you do not like the result, it will dissipate on its own.
