I had fat transfer to the cheek area and unfortunatly too much was placed above Zygoma area (cheek bone). I have protruding humps for cheek bones. I am reluctant to send many photos as I do not want some people to see me looking like this. Can this fat be removed? It has been over a year and I feel like the fat is not going away. The fat was taken from my abdomen. I have not gained or lost weight. What is the best way to remove this?

Yes, it can be done. Hyaluronic acid injections and fat injections can be done together or spaced apart. Your doctor who is going to be doing it will have to consider the amount of product or fat to inject to account for the appropriate correction of the area.

See another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and perhaps a surgical alternative is an option. First an assessment with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, though. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.
Acne scars are VERY difficult to treat. Unfortunately, it seems like there are "miracle" cures out there, with the latest, gretest laser treatment. I think the road you are taking has a very good chance of making a significant improvement. Good luck!
