What can be done about sagging cheeks after jaw surgery? (Photos)

levmunchkin
Female, 23. Had double jaw surgery in 2014. It left me with saggy malar fat pads that bulge out. I had no signs of this before surgery. Do these circumstances make me a candidate for a facelift? I think that most surgeons would suggest fillers or implants, but I don't desire fuller cheeks. I just want the tissue where it was before. I know I'm a bit hollow up top but it would take a ridiculous amount of filler to taper it. I have a long face and worry that too much filler will look freaky...
