Would facial fat transfer benefit me? What exact procedures would you recommend for facial contouring? (Photo)

Thoughtful505531
Hi everyone, I am 22 years old, female, and asian. I am considering a facial fat transfer to my midface/cheekbone area. I feel that my face has a lot of fat and a lack of definition between the lower face and cheekbones, including when I smile. I do not want to increase the width of my face, but increase projection because I notice in my side profile that my cheek extends past my eyes (which naturally protrude more out). Please help me figure out whether this procedure is right for me.
