Can repositioned fat pads on cheekbones be removed? (Photos)

MSHZ
My doctor repositioned all of my fat pads onto my cheek bones. I did not need this and was never hollow, I simply had small herniated medial fat pads. I now look puffy constantly due to being overfilled and my smile is now not natural looking. I used to have distinction between my cheek bone and eye lid. Not only did my eye shape change from this surgery but my smile now is altered. Can the repositioned fat be removed in the future after fully healed?
