I'm 27 and for as long as I can remember I've had a chubby face. It's the first place my fat goes when I put on weight and the last when I lose weight. I would love a more defined lower face and would like to know if buccal fat removal would be the best option? I've previously been put off by buccal fat removal and long term aging consequences but have heard you don't have to take all the buccal fat out therefore having a less dramatic result. What do you think? Thank you :)

Answer: Buccal fat removal with jawline lipo Yes you are a candidate! Buccal fat spans from the bottom of your face, all the way up to your temple, and you really cannot (should not) removal all of it. By removing maybe 20% of it, you can reduce some of the fullness in your lower cheeks and take some weight off your jowls. It is also common to pair buccal fat removal with jawline lipo, which would add further definition to your jawline. Another consideration would be a genioplasty. Your chin is considered short, and by bringing it down, it would add length and definition to your jawline and create a more "v" shaped face. With that, you could also remove the cleft chin (dimple) if that is something you dislike. Our office provides in-person and virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!

Answer: Buccal fat removal Based on these photos I am not sure that buccal fat removal would make significant improvement in your face. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would help. Good luck.
