Face Shape and Cheeks. Too Round and Flat. Options? (photo)
I would like to look more attractive and younger. I think my face looks too round and flat. I had a buccal fat removal 10 years ago and I'm not sure if its making it worse. My upper cheeks look too flat too and I think I have pre-jowls. What would benefit me, lifts, implants and/or fillers?

Looking younger and attractive with a round face
Hi Lyn,
Thank you for sharing your photographs.
I recommend that you seek consultation with experienced surgeons especially that you have had buccal fat pad removal 10 years ago.
It is important to consider the fact that with aging, the buccal fat pad will undergo natural atrophy, so it is risky to over-excise the buccal fat pad.
Based on your photograph, it looks like you could best benefit from specific procedures to add the...

Derounding The Face By Skeletal Augmentation
In attempting to deround a face, there are basic options of either skeletal augmentation, fat extraction or some combination of both. You have already had a buccal lipectomy and do have the benefits of that but it has unmasked some cheek flatness.

It would be interesting to see how your face shape may...

Treatment for "flat" face.
Your situation is why I do not do buccal fat removal. This creates a disproportion in the face as the person ages. Your lower third can be improved with a chin implant which fills in the prejowl as well. I would need to see better photos of your face to give a proper answer to the rest. Choose an experienced facial surgeon to avoid future problems.

Facial rejuvenation options: volume versus lifting
Hello,
Thank you for your question. You will need to sit down with a few plastic surgeons and discuss what you would like to accomplish. It will be very important to take some photos and look at them together. I believe one of the components that would help is addressing your small jaw/chin. A chin implant could help this as would jaw angle implants. Another option would be a chin implant and fat grafting to the jaw angle, upper cheeks, and temples. I...
