I had 10cc fat transferred to deep mid-face fat in 2021. I have a visible lump on one side. What type of doc can correct this?

I had a lower bleph in Oct 2021 and I was convinced to do the fat transfer to the mid-face even though I didn't want it. I'm generally happy with the bleph, but the fat transfer looks terrible on one side of the face. The only time I don't notice it is in extremely bright light. I'm not sure what type of doctor can help correct this or if there are any in my area. The surgeon I went to originally is in LA, which is an exhausting drive from my location.

The incision for the belly button is hidden inside, and shouldn't be obvious nor should it affect its shape. One incision alone may not be enough, however, because if you are thin the harvest from one site may cause a dent.
