Any chance buccal fat removal could impact my dimples? (Photos)

September 2, 2024
Asked By:kaitlynmcdowell in Cincinnati, Ohio

Hi! I'm considering buccal fat removal -- has been recommended by a few different plastic surgeons as I'm actually trying to get a better jawline. At first, I was totally opposed to buccal fat removal but I read about it more and honestly think it could be helpful for my face -- my cheeks are super heavy and honestly sagging, causing early jowls. I would probably be all in if I didn't have dimples!!! Any chance it could impact my dimples?
