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?

Question

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.

Generally, each certain is responsible for follow up for their own patients.
This means that you should follow up with your provider. You can always consult with other plastic surgeons in your community to see what they have to say, but removing fat necrosis from the midface is inherently difficult, and most providers will probably leave it alone unless it’s causing a major problem.
