Hello doctors, as you can see in the pictures I just left my consultation. We have decided on doing a jaw and neck lipo for the fat under my chin but I was inquiring about my cheeks too. She is recommending lipo on my face/cheeks but I'm wanting more opinions. Should I get lipo or buccal fat removal? It's mainly an issue when I smile as you see in the picture,my cheeks becoming chipmunk-y. Thank you!
Answer: Facial Liposuction Options Leslie I appreciate your concerns, however micro liposuction of the neck and jowl regions appear to be your best option. Buccal fat pad removal may be an option, however you do not want to drastically change the shape of your face, and this can sometimes occur with buccal fat pad removal. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to confirm my advice. Good luck.

Answer: Buccal fat pad excision Thank you for the interesting question. Please don’t go the facial liposuction route. Hopefully your plastic surgeon explained that you may develop hallowing or contour irregularities that can be very difficult and costly to correct. As for buccal fat pad excision, please make sure that she only removes a modest amount. Otherwise, as you age, you will look older than your age. I would counsel you to lose some overall weight before doing either of these procedures.

Answer: High definition VASER liposuction High definiton VASER liposuction is an option for buccal fat removal. Liposuction or liposculpture is a very popular procedure. Using variable cannula sizes allows your PS to contour your face to your liking. The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACS Realself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
