Lumps on face after fat transfer when smiling (Photo)

More information is needed, such as a timeframe on when you had the fat injections. Have your original surgeon consider some steroid injections into those residual fat pockets to see if you can settle down some of the swelling that is there

To answer your question we need to know the timeframe. If you are six months or more procedure, then you can consider the results permanent change by waiting further.
I generally recommend patient stick with fillers, because in comparison to fat transfer Fillers are , more predictable, more precise, and far more forgiving people don’t like the outcome.
I suggest you follow up with your provider and have him or her address your concerns.
Best,
