How can I feminize my face after post-pregnancy facial volume loss? (Photos)

Question

After having major post-pregnancy facial volume loss, I had a fat transfer in 2018 (60 cc’s) which helped a lot, but I still have issues. I’m 31/healthy. Buccal fat removal, cheek lift, chin filler, under eye filler...please help me know what I need. It’s like my cheeks are collapsing in towards the center of my face, which collapses my lips & gives me lines/folds. Jowls run in my family. I’ve had big cheeks my whole life. I want a V-line/heart shaped face.

Only on the basis of in person consultation, one could give you good plan of treatment. Combination of reduction (buccal fat??) and augmentation with fat grafts and/or fillers, possible liposuction along jawline, are some of the options. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from Buccal fat removal, this is a good option to contour the face. Buccal fat excision can be done comfortably, awake, under local anesthesia in under an hour. The results are long lasting and the recover is quick. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

As you have mentioned your biggest issue is your falling cheek tissues towards the mouth and jawline. While some facial fat removal (buccal lipectomy and perioral liposuction) offers some modest improvements it alone will not create the change you are seeking. You need to reverse the direction of the falling tissues back towards where it used to be. This is a cheek/lower facelift.
