Chin lipo and buccal fat removal. Will it cause sagging? (Photo)

Y

Hello, I am thinking of getting chin lipo and buccal fat removal. I have a lot of fat in my cheeks as you can see, even in the cheekbone area. If I get buccal fat removal will the top part of my cheek start to sag or cause my face to sag? In other words, can my top cheek be too heavy and need the buccal fat for support? Also, can chin/neck lipo drastically change the shape of my face if dr stays below jawline and doesn't work on the jaw? Thank you!

All surgery has risks. These injuries are traction injuries in the vast majority of cases and should get better on their own without any specific treatment.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. The images suggest that the liposuction has been slightly too effective in the lower part of the neck and has not contributed so much under the chin. One of the potential problems with repeat liposuction is that the skin under the chin...

"Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination...
