I am 24 years old and I got buccal fat removal in July 2020. It was the biggest mistake of my life and I wake up depressed everyday. It's only been a year and my face has changed drastically. I look older and tired and my face looks really hollowed. I don't know why the doctor said I was a good candidate, he said I would get the results I wanted. Is there anyway that I can bring back the youthfulness of my face or add fat? I don't want to do fillers forever.

Hi @ajacks28. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend a combination treatment of dermal fillers and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency...
As seen the posted photos you have jowls from descent of the facial tissues in aging and or weight loss. Recommend mini FL?NL w SMAS plication/ maybe buccal minor excision/fat or HA fillers to areas of face. Expect fees in the $15,000 ranges.
With out in person detailed examination and seeing any before photos very hard to be sure if buccal fat pad removal was the lead in to facial sagging or just your early aging? Either way you might be a candidate for a mini FL/SMAS plication. Fees in %8,000 ranges. Seek in person.
