I realise theres nothing very wrong with my face but I just think I would look so much better if my face were leaner and more chisseled looking. I hate how the lower part of my cheek looks babyish and rounded due to the fat on it despite having a normal chin and jawline. Would buccal fat removal work for this? if it was just removed form the lower cheek wold it work without making me look older/hollow faced?

Answer: Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon Based on your photos, you already have a well-defined, slim facial shape without excess fat. Buccal fat pad excision may produce the results you want. It looks like you may have a very minimal amount of excess fat on your lower cheeks, and a good excision may provide the chiseled look you want. Because of your youth and your strong jaw line, your results wouldn't make you look old; however, I urge you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure. They can perform an in-person examination of your face and give you an idea of what the results would look like. Best wishes.

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal To achieve a more chiseled appearance in the lower face, buccal fat removal can be a good option. When doing this procedure, it is always important that some fat is left behind to avoid looking aged. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can also help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.
