Can hollowing cheeks from short-term smoking be reversed?

Alli.al
I'm 35 and generally had decent skin, not much wrinkling to speak of (11's mostly). Always had a long face but fuller cheeks. Recently it's hollowed out from the act of smoking (pulling smoke I believe) in a dramatic few months, as I only picked up the habit in 2013- but things changed dramatically between summer 2013 and December 2013. Im shocked, horrified and of course stopped smoking. Is this hollowing reversible ? and If I choose to go for fillers what would be my best options ?
