Face uneven after fat graft and thread lift. Any suggestions? (photos)

Peaceful123
6 months ago, I had: 1) Fat graft all over face to fill hollowness around eyes and cheeks and 2) Thread lift for slightly sagging jowls w/ 8 threads each side. I think 30-40% of the fat has been absorbed. Soon after fat graft, pockets of fat appeared on each side of mouth which reduced with time. Now, left chin is indented slightly--that's the side I sleep on sometimes--and there are lines & lumps near both sides of my mouth. Plus, skin near mouth looks slightly lumpy. What is the best fix?
