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

Asked By:Maggie9825 in Atlanta, GA

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
