Buccal Fat Removal or Jowl Liposuction? AIso, Should I Consider Chin Implant? (photo)

Dear Doctors, I am considering buccal fat removal/jowl lipo and potentially, also a chin implant. I am 27 and have always had a chubby face and big cheeks. Both my aunt and mum have very round faces too, with hardly any jowl definition and flabby cheeks. I had a neck lipo a few years ago and love the results - however, my face still looks chubby. So, a buccal fat removal or jowl lipo? And would/could a chin implant be necessary to elongate my face and help it appear more balanced? Thanks!

Hello Hwalk, Thank you for sharing your photographs. Despite the over-sized black blocks over the photographs, it is possible to note that you may be a good candidate for jowl as well as premental (neck) liposuctions.

Smart Lipo candidiate

You are a good candidate for laser liposuction (SmartLipo) of the neck, prejowl as well as contouring your cheeks. Buccal fat pat excision alone will not give you an appreciable difference.

Chubby face and big cheeks are a blessing for some

I would suggest you be careful and not try to do too much here. Your full face gives you a youthful look, something you are going to want back in 20 years. Buccal fat removal will not do much for you. Be very careful with liposuction on your face. Maybe a small chin would help minimally. I would consider repeating the neck lipo again, I think they were probably pretty conservative the first go around.

Buccal fat or jowl liposuction and possible chin implant am I a candidate?

Since you are twenty seven you must keep into consideration that your face looses it's fullness as you get older, childbirth, weight gains and losses, and if you remove the buccal fat pad area you may have some unwanted hollowness in that area later down the road. Personally I think some liposuction and a small chin augmentation with a slight augmentation of the lips will put your profile in harmony. It is a bit difficult to see the overall picture with the blocking on the photograph. The... more
