1 side of my face still has fat there - buccal fat revision? (Photo)

Adrivn
I had buccal removal almost 2 years ago. I like my results very much, my cheekbones pop way more! However I noticed after the swelling went away around 8 months that one side of my face definitely had fat still there. I can feel it as well when I poke the area unlike the other side of my face where it feels completely hollow. They had a hard time pulling the fat out of that side during the procedure. I brought it up to my surgeon but he said I would have to get cheek lipo... any advice?
