The overall effect is uneven and has changed my overall face. What can be done to fix this and the issues between my eye and the fat transfers

To make an assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
We generally do not make Aesthetic assessments from dynamic poses.
The impact that muscles of facial expression have can change facial aesthetics and assessments, including the outcome of the treatment is generally done without facial expressions.
It’s very difficult to anticipate what dynamic changes are going to include.
Without knowing what you look like before the procedure, we can’t begin to make an assessment.
 Facial fat grafting is by its very nature, unpredictable, precise, and potentially unforgiving if patients don’t like the outcome.
I recommend patients work with fillers which tend to be the opposite, precise, predictable, and forgiving.
Before recommending a treatment solution, we need to have a clear understanding of what the problem is and we can’t really do that without seeing you before and after pictures.
Follow up with your provider or schedule other in person consultations with plastic surgeons in your community.
Best,
