Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

You could consider revision if you are completely healed to improve shape and irregularities.Kenneth Hughes, MD

You should be fine for a revision at 6 months following the original procedure.  Revisions are often more difficult than the primary procedure so make sure to go to a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience.

Sorry to hear of your complication. Yes it can be improved by an experienced surgeon. The fat necrosis can be removed and the volume difference can be improved. Best
