I'm a nurse, too. I'm just saying be careful. I hope it turns out well.
My surgery for the double chin got rid of a lot, but not all of it. I had liposuction plus a lift of the muscles. I wish I had just done the lipo; I think I would have gotten about the same result for 1/3 the cost. The doc said because I am over 40 (I'm 41) I would get better results doing the muscle lift. If you are younger, I would definitely just do the lipo. I would not do the cheeks. I wish I hadn't - it's been over 2 months and I still have these circular ridges on the cheeks where the lipo was done. It's very had to do this with delicate enough technique not to show bumps, since the area suctioned is so close to the surface. The whole area looks weirdly concave as well. If you definitely want to do the cheeks, ask your doc to remove a bare minimum of fat for a better result, and demand before/after pictures of this exact procedure. From what I've read, good results of cheek lipo are rare. Good luck.
