Facial asymmetry after buccal fat removal. What are my options? Fat grafting? Fillers? (Photo)

Asked By:Gentle113426 in Avon Park, Florida

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?
