Any way to reverse fat transfer to facial cheeks? 26yo male looking for solution, no matter how crazy. Want my confidence back.

Asked By:DH in the US in Los Angeles, CA

Had lumpy facial fillers in 2016 that had to be dissolved which left me gaunt. Then I had fat transfer to my cheeks. Since then, I've lost all my confidence. I thought volume would give extra youthfulness, but it made me look old. Now I have these chipmunk cheeks. When I'm skinnier, it looks less noticeable & I'm losing weight now to get rid of the fat. I've also tried steroid injections and kybella this year. Is micro-liposuction or a facelift to access the fat and remove it options? HELP!
