My perioral mounds are very prominent, marionette lines very deep, and my face is very thin. What can be done to help? (Photo)

I had a facelift 2 years ago and it was beautiful until about 14 months postoperative and the left side near my mouth started bulging. My Doc said he wanted to do buccal fat pad removal after much research I asked him not to remove buccal fat, but to slightly tighten area that was bulging. He removed large amount of subcutaneous fat during the surgery!!! My perioral mounds are very prominent now, marionette lines very deep and face is very thin!. What can be done???
