Buccal Fat Removal + Age 45-54 Q&A

I'm a 54 year old female (menopausal) & I have some sagging skin & small jowls. My face has always been chubby & never lessened as I aged. I was convinced buccal fat removal wld help me to get a slimmer, contoured face & improve jowls, but 2 sep. plastic surgeons I saw both said Im not a good candidate b/c of my sagginess & removal wld make it sag more & my skin wld just hang. Also said to remove it wouldnt have noticable effect in my cheek size. Is this correct?

Hi I am a 48 Yr old male. I'm 11 s 4ps. I'm 5 f 7ins. I want to ask if a bichechomy would require a Facelift to correct loose skin?

As ive got older (53) my face has got rounder and heavier looking. Im quite slim everywhere else. Can anything be done?

At 45 y/o my lower cheeks ruin my face. They bulge when I'm smiling and look uneven and lumpy when not. Which procedure will address it best? I can book consultations from there. TIA

Im 48 yo, & average weight, & healthy My skin quality is still quite thick, Im not showing wrinkles yet, though have had annual Botox for my 11 lines; though Ive not had any surgical facial procedures. This said, Im not opposed to doing so in the future as its warranted!! I have wide, fairly prominent cheekbones but also a fuller lower face regardless of weight fluctuations, & cheeks seem to be not only retaining their fullness but causing me to look more jowl-y than Id like.

I dont have chipmunk cheeks but want to reduce the bulk of my lower face as fat pads have moved to lower face as I age.

I am in my Late 40s and I would like to know if buccal fat removal will be a good idea or only facelift will solve the falling cheeks ? If facelift is the one to go, smas or deep plane ? I cant quite see how one is more advantageous than the other !

Hi Docs! I have marionette lines AND lower face small puffed perioral mounds. How do I know if I need buccal fat removal, or lower facelift or both? Im in my fifties and normal weight. Thank you in advance.

I'm 54 and have always had a bottom heavy face. I had a mid-face lift and cheek implants years ago but am still bothered by the boxiness in my lower face. I'm a very fast metabolizer, so injectables don't give me much bang for the buck (fillers last just over a week and botox lasts 2-3 weeks).Would buccal fat removal help? Or do I need a full facelift? Thanks so much for your opinions.

i have been reading some of the questions and answers, but is a 53 year old a good candidate? because from what i am reading if they remove too much when people get older, may not look good. please advise. i have been considering this procedure but if is not going to enhance my appearance, i rather not do it.
