Question

19y/o struggling with saggy face and prominent smile lines. My face is a bit round when I smile however I don’t have strong cheekbones. Im 5’4 and weigh 127lbs. Im considering buccal fat removal and facial fat transfer. Is this the right option?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Here’s the revised version:

Young individuals with a saggy face, prominent smile lines, a round face, and a lack of strong cheekbones may benefit from multiple plastic surgery procedures to improve these areas. Since no single procedure can address all these concerns at once, a combination of treatments is often necessary. Sagging and prominent smile lines are often due to a lack of strong cheekbones; therefore, enhancing the cheekbones with either cheekbone fillers or implants could help improve these areas. Fullness or roundness of the face is typically due to enlarged buccal fat pads, making partial or total buccal fat removal a potential solution. To determine which procedures are most appropriate, it is highly recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial procedures to address the specific concerns identified.

I hope this helps!
