I got cheek implants 5 months ago. How can I remove a small pocket of fat from my left malar area? (photo)

Question

While i enjoy how its has filled in my eye hollows it has pronounced how uneven my upper malar cheek fat is. The right side of my face, which was more hollow than my left is the desired shape I was looking for however my left side doesn't match. I've read that face liposuction in the malar area is very frowned upon but if it were used in such a small area on my left side would it still be? And if so, what are my other options? I just want even cheeks!

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and posting pictures. You may be a candidate for facial micro liposuction  with SmartLipo and small cannulas.  Other options may be a series of Kybella injections. Consultation in person or via Skype/FaceTime would be best for precise recommendations.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.  It's very hard to tell from the photos, so your best bet is to check back in with your own surgeon.
