How to reverse some of the damage caused by poorly done buccal fat removal? (photo)

Sociable520383Mar 14, 2022
The doctor removed 4cc from each side even though I asked to be VERY conservative and do less than this. He also noted my facial asymmetry before the surgery but still removed 4cc from each side, leading to a well done right side but an indented, hollow and saggy left side with loose skin. What can be done to make the results more symmetrical and less aged? I was a good candidate, just had an awful surgeon I put my trust in.
