Would Cheek Lipo Give Me Profile Improvement? Had Buccal Fat Removal and Chin Implant 4 Years Ago. (photo)

Lisa Wu
I had a buccal fat removal and chin implant (X large) in 2008, i am 30 now (asian). The fat pad that bothers me is below buccal fat area. One surgeon recomm micro lipo with a mini face lift, another- removing chin impl and moving jaw forward, third-deep facial reconstruction (under cheek muscle fat removal with mini face lift). I am confused. Is mini lipo safe (facial nerves)? If i do a mini lift, would the scar disappear within a year? Also,is there a way to improve my profile, upper lip?
