I had facial fat grafting a year ago, I am still overfilled and very unhappy with the results. What can I do?

DF1231
I have the exaggerated “peanut” shape to my cheeks. Every photo I see of myself since this procedure shows a face that is distorted. When I smile, my eyes are pushed up. I have lost my face. The surgeon suggested I massage my face in hopes it would redyce some of this, but I see no improvement. He has also offered to use Kybella to reduce some of the fat. What are your thoughts on Kybella? Could it work? How risky is it? I’m very concerned that I’ll regret that too.
