Buccal Fat Removal and FaceTite - need a second opinion? (photos)

March 23, 2022
Asked By:eleah93

My plastic surgeon recommended both procedures as he observed there is excess fat in other areas of my face, not just the buccal pad region. Would love a second opinion on buccal fat reduction alone vs. paired with FaceTite to get rid of the excess submental fat in other regions and streamline the jawline.
