Should I consider buccal fat removal? (photos)

kershaw1Aug 28, 2014
Hello I'm 18 years old. I've been noticing that my face has been looking bloated & well fat recently. I'm about 5'10 150 pounds so it's strange to me. I've read articles about changing my diet and excersing etc. but I'm weighing in my options. I came across this procedure but I'm curious to know if I'm the " type " that would be satisfied from this procedure. I'm in no rush or anything and I'm not very self conscious about it. Let me know what you think thanks!
