Can botched fat grafting be removed? (Photo)

I had under eye fat grafting to fill up my hallow eyes. But the fat injected only created a bulg and dent, bellow the area I wanted to fill up. I’m so mad as it not only created a new problem it also made my eyes look more hallow :( Can this be fixed?

After 25 years of facial fat grafting it is possible to say that fat grafting is safe to perform in the same time as blepharoplasty, face lift, brow lift and any other associated procedure in the face and body. Hope this helps.
