Buccal fat removal vs face liposuction? (Photo)

Thrifty285910Sep 20, 2024

5 years ago I had a facelift. I never had these huge cheeks or fat between my cheeks and jawline. It looks like he moved my jowls up and I look very swollen. People have noticed and asked what happened to my face, it’s very embarrassing and I would like to get an opinion on how to fix it or if it can be fixed. Thank you for any input.

Thank you for your question. Buccal fat pad removal may slightly alter the appearance of your dimples, but it would not remove them completely. The volume of your buccal fat does not have a direct effect on dimples.

First of all, thank you for your brave confession. You have actually understood better how much risk you are taking with cheap 'doctors' who only take the price factor into consideration. Yours is not an asymmetry that can be corrected with buccal fat removal only. The projection of your chin...
