Surgery to Reduce Heavy Lower Cheeks (Age 25)

It is not just treating the problem that is the issue but why you are having the surgery. Even if the surgery did work you may not pass the audition and that may cause you to be mad at the surgeon. Even if you now say that would not be the case you would be surprised to know how frequently that is the case. Unfortunately plastic surgery is not akin to moving image components on an electronic image or tailoring clothing. Those modalities do not account for dividing body cells, bleeding, effects on or by adjacent tissues, swelling, genetic effects on healing and patient compliance with care after surgery. All of these factors can improve or detract from a surgical result.

In your case if the fat bulge is proplapsed buccal fat it could be removed via an incision inside the mouth. You would know this by seeing the fat bulge reduced with finger pressure to re-elevate the prolapsed fat. However, even if that were the case I am not sure I or most other surgeons would be willing to do the surgery given the reason why you want the surgery.

Hi Portland Actress,

I would advise you against the removal of your buccal fat pads.  You will want that volume in your face as you get older.  You may even benefit from a small amount of strategically placed Sculptra to support what you feel is a sagging and heavy lower third of your face.  Make sure that you choose your aesthetic surgeon most carefully.  Good luck and be well.

Though it would seem like auctioning the fat would do what your computer did, it is not without problems . You could have excess skin or irregularities after which can be difficult to repair. Therefore, I tell my Patients to NOT have surgery.
