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

Question

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!

Hello. You are a good candidate for a removal of the Bichat fat pads (Bichectomy) right in the rounds red points marked. And also you will benefit from  a submentonian lipo. It will not cause sagging at all. American Society of Plastic Surgeon, 29-year experience.

I suggestreviewing it before and after pictures to see how these procedures changed people's outcomes and facial features.  you should especially look at your providers results by reviewing their before and after pictures. Hopefully you got to see lots of them during an in-person consultation.  if the procedure is done correctly the concerns you listed should not be major issues. The biggest issue is probablya lack of facial volume later in life from buccal  fat removal.

Best,
