Hello, what can be done to correct these severe nasolabial folds I developed after jaw surgery? I tried fat transfer to face but I think it made it worse.

Have you had any radiofrequency? That can sometimes melt fat and make one look older. Yes, fat transfer can restore faces to an earlier age. Do be sure to see someone with a lot of experience, since FFG is more of an art than science.
It has been our experience in over 25 years of use of fat grafts for periorbital rejuvenation that graft take is around 30% in average. This means also that fat grafts do not take equally in all areas. Secondary grafting is done in probably 20-30% of patients 8-12 months after first procedure....
I'm not sure imaging would help in this case. This is extremely thin skin and you likely have some fat which has become scarred. It could be removed if it bothers you.
