Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal and chin implant? (Photos)

Question

Thinking about getting buccal fat removal as I have chubby cheeks and want a more contoured look, as well as a chin implant to give me more of a solid jawline

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

To better assess your facial profile, it would be best if you shaved your facial hair. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a buccal fat removal procedure, especially if you have an abundance of buccal (cheek) fat. This procedure works best for people who have excess cheek fat and wish to taper the lower third of their face. If you are looking to sharpen your neckline, chin augmentation in combination with submental liposuction are also options to balance facial proportions. The best way to determine what specific changes will look good on your face, and what changes are surgically possible, is to do your research to find a qualified facial plastic surgeon and consult with them in person. During your consultation, your photos can be computer-morphed to show how the changes will affect your appearance. @drdonyoo
