Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal/reduction? How about cheek/jaw fillers or neck lipo?

October 4, 2018
Asked By:pvlife in New York, New York

I have always had a very large head and cheeks, and since I'm balding extremely quickly, my overall facial appearance has been said to look "like an old man". I was hoping that getting a more chiseled/defined facial features would resolve that. I'm curious about doing a buccal fat removal and/or cheek/jaw fillers. I'm also curious about lipo (or Kybella) I'm concerned about how the buccal fat removal will affect me in 10-20+ years, and some weight loss hasn't done much for me.
