Buccal fat removal ruined my facial harmony. Is it possible to get my smile back with fat transfer or filler? (Photo)

Gentle113426
I got buccal fat removal one month ago however I was misunderstood what part of the face it slims. My buccal fat pads were quite small(3cc) the entire thing was removed. However my face has changed dramatically and not in a good way. Now my upper cheeks look much bigger and my face looks super round when I smile. The procedure has ruined my face as what I needed was a chin implant. Is it possible to get my smile back with fat transfer or filler? my smile feels weak and like any other expression.
