Would buccal fat removal reverse fat grafting? (photos)

I have high, protruding cheekbones and low body weight, so I always had a "sculpted" area where my buccal fat is. But after scar surgery, which included fat grafting, my face is a chipmunk shape. Would buccal fat removal help put my face back to normal, even though there was little buccal fat to begin with?? I understand that surgeons cannot put fat back into the buccal area if fat has been removed, but I wonder if that has more to do with scarring from surgery, rather than changing something natural. Could fat grafting have added to my buccal fat?
