Still in the process of losing weight - will buccal fat removal benefit me? (photos)

March 16, 2022
Asked By:ShineBrightLikeADymond in Chicago, Illinois

I'm considering chin lipo for my double chin. I still have ~30 lbs I'd like to lose, but my chin seems to stick around regardless of my weight. Since I'm still losing weight, I'm wondering if buccal fat removal would benefit me. I don't think my cheeks look bad when I'm thinner, but I'm open to adding that procedure if it would help my chin also look more defined. Also curious about price range for chin vs both buccal + chin (if performed at the same time).
