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)

Question

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

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

Yes - buccal fat removal, cheek implants, and possibly masseter botox (based on some of these photos) should help you feel much more confident.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

I don't believe that you are a good candidate for buccal fat pad reduction. The fullness of your lower face is due to the angle of your jaws and massater muscle. I would recommend facial re-shaping with a reduction of the angles of the mandible and submalar cheek implants to add fullness to the area beneath your eyes. This area is very flat and lacks projection.
