My face is round and chubby but I'm skinny. I don't like smiling because it makes my face look rounder. What procedure do I need? Buccal fat removal seems to be an option but there isn't much of a difference in before and after pictures that I have seen. I need some help

Answer: Facial Slimming/Contouring To obtain a slimmer appearance in the face, often times multiple areas need to be addressed. The best recommendation is to have an in-person consultation with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can also help you visualized what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

Answer: Slimming the face Buccal fat removal can help if you have fullness when smiling. This would allow your cheekbones to become more prominent. However, it will not fully address your desire for a V shape. Options for that depend on your anatomy. If your masseter muscle is very bulky and strong, that may be contributing to the roundness at your jawline. This can be treated with serial botox injections. If it's your bone that's making your face wider at the jaw, there are ways to shave the bone down to give you a slimmer look. Or, a combination of all these procedures may be needed. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon, having someone examine you and talk with you can help answer many of your questions! I hope this helps. -Dr. Mills
