Hello! I am 35 years old and for some reason my jowls have been impossible to treat. I have done nearly everything - Ultherapy, Threads, Morpheus8, RF microneedling, Sculptra, lemon bottle, masseter botox... Fun fact: I have had a heavy low face since little and my face was rounded until I had a buccal fat removal when I was 30 years old. My last resort is chin and jowl liposuction because my plastic surgeon believes my jowls are fat deposits. Is this the right thing to do? Thanks!
