Had buccal fat removal, face is still chubby. Is there another non-surgery recommendation to get rid of my extra face fat?

Question

I’m in my mid 20s & about 110lbs and I always had chubby cheeks. I got buccal fat removal nearly 10 months ago and the results have been minimal. Only my right cheek has somewhat of a definition and my left still looks chubby. In addition, I still have jowl fat ( I know buccal fat does not affect this) that still gives me a round face. I’ve tried Botox for the jowls and didn’t see much result.

Chubby cheeks are usually caused by enlarged buccal fat pads. 
Patients who are not satisfied with the results from buccal fat removal either have weak cheek bones or had very little buccal fat removal. In the second case, some times it is possible to undergo a secondary buccal fat removal to remove any left over buccal fat, so a better result can be achieved. 
Posting pictures of the face in question would also help to asses better the problem.

Facial liposuction could be used to slim the face. I recommend getting a formal consultation to go over your desired results. I hope this helps.
