Is buccal fat removal what I need to fix my smile? (photos)

Question

I don't know if my smile can be fixed by a maxillofacial surgeon, an orthodontist, or cosmetic surgeon. I haven't seen anyone with a smile like mine and I don't know what's wrong with it. I feel like the corners of my smile are really weird, the nasolabial folds are weirder--and I'm not sure if this is due to extra cheek fat or if my jaw is in the wrong place. How would you describe the smile? Is it too narrow?

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from Buccal fat removal, this is a good option to contour the face. Buccal fat excision can be done comfortably, awake, under local anesthesia in under an hour. The results are long lasting and the recover is quick. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Thanks for your question and Pictures
The buccal fat pad is a rounded mass of fat in the middle of your cheek. It’s located between facial muscles, in the hollow area beneath your cheekbone. The size of your buccal fat pads affects your face shape.
Everyone has buccal fat pads. However, the size of buccal fat pads can vary greatly.
If you have larger buccal fat pads, you might feel like your face is too round or full.
You can be a candidate for a Buccal Pad removal surgery.
Best of Luck
