Lumpines Afer Fat Transfer

I had a fat transfer under my eyes because they were so hollow.Now 7 months later I have uneven swelling that hardened into uneven lumps. It made me look like I had pouches. So I went back to the surgeon who suggested that the best correction to resolve this was to melt it away with laser. This didn't work. One site swelled up and gave me the look I was hoping for when I started this.But this was only temorary because it was swelling from the laser. What can I do to fix.
