I am a 52 year old woman who had a facelift & fat grafting to my face six years ago. I only asked for a little fat near my eyes and forehead (even wrote it on the consent) and the surgeon injected my entire face including my jowl area. Now, when I smile it looks like too much fat is in there and in the cheek area. What is the best and safest way to decrease this fat grafting by at least 50% in the jowl and cheek area? Ultherapy or opening my face back up and using a suction method? TY!
