My boyfriend was talked into a facial fat transfer to his cheeks and jawline in 2020 at age 20. It ruined his sculpted look so in March 2022 he tried facetite and lipo of the jawline lower cheek area to hopefully melt the unwanted fat & tighten the area. Unfortunately again this instead made it even less defined and looser. At this point we don’t know where to turn.
