My doctor repositioned all of my fat pads onto my cheek bones. I did not need this and was never hollow, I simply had small herniated medial fat pads. I now look puffy constantly due to being overfilled and my smile is now not natural looking. I used to have distinction between my cheek bone and eye lid.
