One cheek is bigger than the other. My doctor is saying he can remove more from the bigger cheek. Is that right? Also, the doctor is able to choose how much buccal fat to remove? He said I am 39 it is ok for me to remove some at this point cause of my age. He said if I were 19 he would not do it. He agrees I have chubby cheeks and my face is too round. He says buccal fat will help to angle my face a bit. Is this true?
