Are my malar fat pads in the right position? (Photo)

There's really no right or wrong malar fat position. There's clearly volume deficiency above and malar fat that in the periocular area. Fillers may be a place to start but formal cheek implants may be indicated.

There is nothing "wrong" with your facial features or your genetics.  However our appearance is governed by our inherited traits from our parents, and our perception is governed by our aspirations and comparisions.  There is some fullness to your midface in the central anterior dimension and relatively less fullness to the lateral, and zygomatic portions of the facial structure.  For patients desiring reshaping of the face at a young age, careful use of fillers is probably the best option.  Fillers such as fat or sculptra can provide substantial reshaping potential to help you achieve your desired goal. 

It is not a defect or a genetic defect. People look different. Some people have higher cheekbones and some people high fat pads positioned highly as well. Nonetheless, you have several options to improve your malar area. These include bony augmentation (cheek implants)', fillers or a midface lift. Surgeons have different answers because each surgeon is comfortable with different types of procedures, try to find a board certified surgeon with expertise in the face with whom you can establish a good rapport.
