27, past weight loss - How can I get rid of lower face fat/jowls? (Photos)

Question

I am 27 and a slim person but i have had a past of weight loss and gain more than once. How do i get rid of the jowls/fat on my face? I have talked to a plastic surgeon and he is recommending buccal fat removal but ive been told it will make you look older as you age. I am very insecure of my face and dont take many photos of my self because of it. Suggestions/advice?

Hey there! By looking at the pictures provided, I would agree with the surgeon's assessment that fullness of your buccal fat pads is playing a large part in the fullness of the area you're highlighting. As with any plastic surgery procedure, the surgeon can always do too much. Balance and harmony are always critical. 
For example, in this area, removing too much fat can make the patient's face look gaunt or hollow, which gives them an aged look. But this is always the case with facial aesthetic procedures. A facelift can always be pulled too tight. An eyelid can always have too much fat removed from it. Part of being a good surgeon is knowing how much is too much and keeping everything in balance for a harmonious result. This is why surgeon selection is so important.
