Answer: Buccal fat removal: what you should know Thank you for submitting your question and photo. You appear to have an ideal face shape for buccal fat removal without creating a gaunt appearance. This procedure can promote better cheek and jawline definition while also slenderizing the lower third portion of your face. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your concerns and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Answer: May be both If the fullness is more in the lower anterior cheeks, it may be buccal fat. If it is more in the lower posteriror cheeks, it may be overdeveloped masseter muscles. Or it can be both at the same time. And both conditions can be treated with related procedures. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.

Answer: Buccal fat pad removal Upon seeing your pictures you are a candidate for the buccal fat pad removal, the procedure will make your mid cheeks area slimmer and highlight your cheekbones. In my experience it's very difficult for a patient with a round/square face to have a gaunt result because the fat removed isn't enough to dramatically change your features. Either way my advise is to always do a lot of research and to only move forward once you're completely sure that the procedure is a match for you.

Answer: Potentially both! You could start with buccal fat removal and see how you feel after. It would not leave you looking older or gaunt, but would reduce some of the fullness in your cheeks and jowls. You could also try masseter botox as well. This may take a few treatments to get the appearance you are looking for , but the results can be huge.

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal and Master Botox Hi, I think both masseter botox and buccal fat removal are potentially great procedures to help slim your face. If I were treating you, I would start with masseter botox and see how you like the results as this alone can make an impactful change. If you were interested in further slimming, the buccal fat removal would be an additional procedure to help with this. In other words, start with a temporary and less invasive procedure first and move forward with another procedure based on your goals. I hope this helps and please reach out if I can help you further with your goals.
