28, male, 70kg, buccal fat removal to make face sharper & more defined? (Photos)

Question

I’m 28 m 70kg - I’ve had dermal fillers .5 ml on each cheekbone and under eye and 1ml on chin . I want to make my face look sharper and more defined and reduce roundness/ puffiness in mid face . I was considering Buccal fat removal as hollow cheeks is something I’d like to have. I’m already fairly lean

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

The best buccal fat removal candidates are people who are self-conscious about their plump cheeks or have a rounder appearance to their face. One way to see if you are a candidate for buccal fat pad removal would be to look inside your mouth bilaterally to see if you have a prominent white line horizontally on the inside of your cheeks . For people who already have a narrow face, buccal fat removal may accentuate the narrow appearance and result in an overly gaunt look.

Thank you for posting your question here,I will base my answer on the limited information and pictures provided , for a more in depth answer and a bespoke plan I would recommend that you consult with your plastic surgeon.
from the pictures it seems that you already have some hollowing in your cheeks/lower face . A buccal fat removal procedure will make your cheeks even more hollow which might make your upper cheeks and jaw appear sharper due to the increased shadowing but that might lead to facial aging or to a emaciated look that might not be appealing, so I would consider those issues prior to venturing down that path.
it's hard to assess your upper cheeks completely based on the pictures but the malar region ( upper cheek) is a little recessed , there are many ways of making it more pronounced and sharper and the best way to proceed with that will depend on your surgeon's exam and how involved you want the surgery to be so a discussion with your surgeon is recommended but some options include: (filler (you have already tried it , it also draws water in and might increase puffiness), fat transfer, cheekbone implant ( might provide a more dramatic change but is more involved), midface lift (more involved).
I hope this helps , best of luck !
