Facial Liposuction
From your photo, you appear to be a good candidate for facial liposuction and possible buccal fat pad excision. This is a great procedure for people with a poorly defined jawline and full lower cheeks. Good luck.

Reconsider Jowl Liposuction and Buccal Fat Removal
I'm in full agreement with Dr Mayer, your age is a determent to this surgery. Please reconsider, especially the buccal fat pad removal. It is a very poorly thought of procedure.

Buccal fat/facial fat removal for facial definition.
I have been doing liposuction for 30 years and do not do it on patients in your age group for several reasons. It is very easy to get irregularities and there are minimal changes. I have seen many complications of this. As to buccal fat removal, I feel the changes are too minimal to justify the procedure. Remember also that some day you will want that extra fat in your face for volume.

Jowl and Buccal Fat Pad Removal at a young age
Hello Ukswiss,
Jowl Liposuction and Buccal Fat Pad Removal could run in parallel to provide the candidate with the "triangular" look you are seeking.

Buccal Fat extraction and neck lipsuction to achieve a more triangular face
Based on your photo I would not recommend either procedure. As indicated Buccal fat extraction should onlybe performed on patients with signficant facial fullness. Neck and jowel lipsuction can enhance definition along the jawline but im not sure you require this. photos showing side view and three quarter views would give me a better idea of your current appearance.

Liposuction does enhance the jawline
Liposuction is good for the jawline/jowls and under the chin to give improved definition but buccal fad pad removal isn't done much anymore since it usually doesn't do anything and has more risks to it.

Buccal Fat Removal does not Age Well
I would encourage you to avoid procedures that will require a later fix. Buccal fat pad removal was performed with regularity in the past, but is applied very selectively these days for reasons other posters have mentioned. The procedure does not tend to age well, giving a patient a hollowed out, gaunt, "Freddy Mercury" look in the early to late 40's. Unlike Liposuction in the neck, standard Liposuction of the face can lead to streak marks, bumps,and contour irregularities that...

Facial liposuction and buccal fat pad removal
Although liposuction of the face and buccal fat pad removal might give you the triangular look you're trying to accomplish, keep in mind that you may regret your decision, while still young in your late forties when the sunken in cheeks worsen and you begin to look guant, ill and tired. People who have had such surgery twenty years ago are coming in now for fat injections, Sculptra, Radiesse or other fillers for volume augmentation.
