Buccal Fat Removal or Botox to Masseter? (photo)

I'm 28 years old and I'm 5'4 115 lbs. I have an appointment in 2 wks & I was curious what I should ask him to turn my round face into a more heart shaped one. i have big puffy chipmunk cheeks when i smile. I feel like a pumpkin. Yes, i do plan on getting rhinoplasty as well but I'd like to get this done first. I know as you age your cheeks thin out but it seems mine are doing the opposite. Idk if BFR is the right direcstion or I should be looking at something else. thanks

Would recommend buccal fat removal

Your issue is not due to a larger masseter muscle, which Botox could improve. Buccal fat removal would work well for the fullness. In your cheeks. This is a fast, relatively simple surgery done under local anesthesia.
