Large chipmunk cheeks after deep plane facelift. Is there a correction for this?

October 12, 2021

I had a deep plane facelift, browlift, upper bleph, and necklift about 6 months ago. Everything turned out well except for being left with large chipmunk cheeks which look like golf balls in the apple of my cheeks when I smile and the big cheeks also push up the fat from underneath my eye (did not get lower bleph because doc said I didn't need it) making it look even larger. Is there a correction for this? Doc that did surgery won't even consider doing anything to help.
