Will liposuction to reverse a fat graft cause irregularities or dents?

Exuberant498854
Hello, I am trying to get a liposuction in the cheeks+midface area after fat graft that was botched. I was told by some doctors that I have thin layer of fat on my face (CT scan evaluation/sono). My face now has a rounded esthetic after the fat graft and I'm looking to remove this. Is having a thin layer of fat more linked to risks of irregularity and dents forming, even if I want a very conservative removal in select areas? Can this serve as a contraindication?
