Can I get rid of extra buccal fat without surgery? (Photo)

August 9, 2014
Asked By:maddienicolegirl in Louisiana, LA

I'm 17, 5'1, and 100 lbs. I have extra fat around my mouth that looks like it may be extra buccal fat. I have been considering ultherapy but I'm still unsure if it would work. Before I do that, I want to know if there is a natural remedy for the extra fat. I have tried facial exercises and they haven't worked and I do not want to lose any more body fat. I was also thinking about using fillers for my cheekbone area and maybe my chin. Would that help?
