Can you I reverse fat grafting in my cheeks?

April 29, 2016
Asked By:t2s in Tulsa, OK

I had facial fat grafting 4 months ago & I'm very unhappy with the results. My face is too full & one side is bigger than the other. It looks like a have a "speed bump" running down the center of my bigger cheek. Also, the corners of my mouth turn downward like a constant frown. Is that normal? Can I have the fat removed? I've had steroid shots 3 times in an attempt to get my cheeks to go down but very little change.
