Is there any type of scanning that can reveal exact location of fat deposits on face?

Question

I've had 4 liposuction procedures in my face and a buccal fat pad extraction. I still have this weird round shape in one side of my face. If not sculpted, at least I'd like my right side to look like the left. It seems the doctors are not hitting the right area. I also wonder if the doctor that did my buccal left too much fat on it 4 years ago). when I woke up from surgery he said "we can take out more", but when I went back he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. Im 50 years old

There are two types of scanning procedures that can reveal the location of internal structures in the face, including fat: The CT scan ( computed tomography scan) and MRI ( Magnetic Resonance Imaging).CT scan is a specialized type of XR that gives detailed anatomy of the face or other body part, but involves exposure to low dose radiation.MRI is an specialized type of magnet that reveals the anatomy of the face or other body part without need of low dose radiation exposure, but is contraindicated in patients with any metal implants in their bodies.
