9 yrs ago I had fat transferred into my cheek and jawline after my surgeon convinced me to do so while planning my butt fat transfer/ liposuction procedure. This Seemed like a good idea at the time but what a disaster. My face is hard looking, round, puffy, bloated all the time. If I gain any weight at all even a few lbs it goes straight to my face. I wish I could have my slimmer slender face back i feel like there is no options in removing this fat face look?
