Buccal fat removal vs face liposuction? (Photo)

September 20, 2024
Asked By:Thrifty285910 in Boon, Michigan

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.

Any chance buccal fat removal could impact my dimples? (Photos)
Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD says:

It is not impossible, but it is unlikely that your dimples would go away. They may get a bit less pronounced if your cheek is not as full.
