I've had the hole on my cheek since then (for about 4 years). It is 2mm in diameter and approximately 2-3mm in depth from the skin surface. Which surgery would remove (or minimize as much as possible) the hole? What are my options?

A broken or misplaced zygoma can be corrected with osteotomy and repositioning. Sometimes, fillers can mask the deficit to achieve symmetry. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
I have researched and lectured on this topic. Do not wait. The earlier the better for laser treatments and scars. Fraxel is a fine choice. You essentially want a fractional ablative laser (CO2 or Erb:YAG) and possibly a lower wavelength laser like a PDL 595 nm wv zone if there is redness...
I think a small chin implant would look nice and small dorsal hump reduction would really balance out the face. You might also consider some minimal fat grafting to the cheeks. If you want the jawline to improve you might do well with some Renuvion or Facetite with lipo to the neck. Hope that helps!
