I had buccal fat removal a while back and now I have severe facial asymmetry. My left side is much thinner than the right. I had all the fat taken out and they were about the same size (3cc), the left was slightly bigger. My left however was my thinner side before the procedure so I needed less taken from that side. This procedure emphasized the asymmetry. What are my options? Fat grafting? Fillers?

No drift with fat grafting. It is permanent movement of fat cells, so if you gain or lose weight in the future the area will get bigger or smaller. I do not like fat graft to calves, implants are a more reliable and powerful solution.
It would be difficult to find a hand held device with the sensitivity to clearly see tiny blood vessels. I use a microcannula to inject which is blunt tipped and does not penetrate or cannulate blood vessels.
