What is the Best Method to Fix Asymmetrical Cheeks?

Fat grafts or fillers or surgery for cheek asymmetry

I agree that this is difficult to answer this question with seeing photos to show what you are describing. Nevertheless, without photos, given your age I would vote for fillers such as Sculptra or Radiesse over fat grafting or other types of surgery for the condition you describe.
