Should I get a buccal fat removal? Are my edits realistic? (photos)

Ohlunaaa2000
Am I good candidate for buccal fat removal? I hate smiling with my teeth because I have chubby cheeks even though Im thin. I have inserted my photos (blurred for privacy) and the wish goals. Would it look like that when I smile if I go for a partial buccal fat pad removal? I don't want too much out because I dont want to look gaunt. I have poor cheekbones so if I get a buccal fat pad removal maybe I'll need cheekbone filler later to compensate the loss of chubby cheeks. Are my edits realistic?
