I have these pockets of fat on my face that won’t go away. How can I improve my face? (Photo)

I think I have these pockets of fat on my face that won’t go away or maybe it’s my masseter muscle (I did recently get a mouth guard bc of grinding issues). I don’t like my face anymore and I want to improve it. I know I want it to be thinner/proportionate to the rest of me. I also don’t love that dimple. I’m due for a lip flip again. I haven’t gotten Botox to fix my elevens bc it weighs down my eyelids which are already hooded. Ugh. What do you think could improve my face?

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
