Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal? Goal is to add shape to my face and to make it seem less long (Photos)

I already had a consultation with a great doctor who suggested buccal fat removal and cheek implants but I wanted to get additional opinions

Yola re good candidate for buccal removal plus neck and face lift with permanent treads. Buccal fat removal will give a good contour on lower cheeks; lifting the neck will deepen the chin angle

Based on your photos I do think you would benefit from a conservative buccal fat pad removal procedure. This would improve the aesthetic appearance of your cheeks and likely make you feel like your lower face is lighter/more contoured. Find a qualified surgeon in your area and do a consult first!

Unfortunately, buccal fat removal cannot be reversed as there is no way to reinsert or regrow the buccal fat pad. If you're unhappy with your results, best option would either be fat transfer or dermal filler procedure to restore lost cheek volume.
