This can be treated with micro-liposuction using a small cannula to suction out this accumulation of fat.

Facial fat grafting is inherently, unpredictable and precise, and can be unforgiving. For that reason, I recommend patients use fillers, which are the opposite. Fillers are precise, predictable and forgiving if you don’t like the outcome.
To make an assessment on the outcome of a cosmetic surgical procedure we always need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took. Try reposting, including before and after pictures. Without seeing the change from the procedure, can’t really make an assessment about the outcome of the procedure.
