I am three months out from facial fat grafting to my upper cheeks and a little was placed above my cheeks near the hollows around my eyes. My eye shape has completely changed, I had beautiful eyes. Is it possible for facial fat grafting to completely change the shape of your eye permanently? Am I stuck with this for the rest of my life? This never happened when I were to gain weight in my cheeks. Also I hate the outcome, how can I get rid of the grafted fat? can I ever go back to my face pre-op?

Unfortunately you can't answer this without seeing photos. In patients with deep set eye sockets cheek implants can make them look deeper because of a malar shelf, but again it is hard to advise without photos.
The cheek area can be augmented by synthetic fillers, natural fat transfer or implants. When properly performed fat last longer than any filler and allow better shaping than implants. Without accurate pictures it is not possible to make any recommendations more specific.
This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
