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'm 25 and underwent buccal fat removal in February of this year because I always wanted a slimmer face, before this became a trend. I requested that this be done modestly and that only about half of the buccal fat pad be removed, but unfortunately, I think more was removed. I am now noticing sagging nasolabial folds appearing that I haven't seen before. Is the buccal fat removal the cause of this? And what are ways to reverse this, other than filler? Can this be fixed?
I have quite heavy, saggy lower cheeks and they take up a lot of space inside mouth and get in way when I am chewing. There are bite marks on the inside of my mouth. I have heard buccal fat removal is aging but I feel having fat lower cheeks is more aging on me and is starting to cause jowling because I also have a weak jawline which isn't strong enough to support my lower cheeks. The photo on left is my face normally and the right is me sucking in my cheeks. What is the best procedure for me?
I dont want to look older or have hollowness if I do buccal fat removal but my face has always been a little wide im not sure if this would help target that. The extra fat around the corners of my mouth really bother me and specially how it makes it look like sagging marionette lines
I have done Botox in masseter before but found that wasn't my issue. My facial bone structure is exactly what I want, even my jaw, I have a quite petite bone structure but lately my face has a more square and bigger look. I asked my injector and she said it was just skin that we could pull up with threads. But I feel like it must be more than that. Is this treatable with threading, buccal fat removal or any other method? Gua sha? I gained weight, but lost it again & face still looks bigger :( I'm just confused how within a year my face has dropped and changed sooooo much! I noticed too when I smile my cheeks get pretty chubby and my overall face/head just looks bigger. Why is this and is there a treatment?
I deeply regret getting my buccal fat pad removed, I look more gaunt, my face looks way slimmer in an un attractive way and everyone asks why I duffle look very tired. I feel I'm starting to show more marionette lines now and my cheeks just look like they're sagging! was wondering if this is something that can get reversed through facial fat transfer or will I need more to it? Sometimes fuller cheeks just look better on some people!
I am 56 years old and need to do a revision on my facelift due to laxity. My doctor ssuggested I incorporate a buccal fat removal so I will have less heaviness after the revision. Is this a good idea? would it improve the sag next to the marionette lines?
I have noticed my face is starting to drop around my chin / mouth area. I can see fat forming near the corners of my mouth. I don't particularly want to go under the knife but if that's the best option I will look into it. I thought about having ultheraphy but I have heard it can be very painful. I also looked into fat disosolving injections in the face or lipo. I can't afford to spend a lot of time or money on a procedure. Is there anything you can recommend? Thank you
