Malar mounds are difficult to treat.  Some patients find improvement with Morpheus8.  This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  Typically three treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

This area is highly complex and notoriously difficult to treat.
This is why you are going to get different opinions from different providers.
If there is one treatment that word consistently, we would all be doing the same thing.
The fact the people have different opinions means there is no one single best treatment.
 Your money was spent on the procedure you had.
Anyone who claims to get consistent results for this area should show you at least 10 to 20 sets of before and after pictures of previous patients with quality outcomes.
Volume restoration with a fillers or a mid face lift can potentially give a really good results but all of them have their weaknesses.
Good luck,
