So I had Buccal fat pad removal over 6 months ago and near my jowls is very saggy. In the middle of my face there seems to be hanging fat that needs to be pulled back? I’m not sure if I need Morpheus or something more drastic to give desired looked? Miniface life or lower facelift ? And what is the difference between fat grafting v chin/cheek implant ? And would you recommend either for me.

Answer: Cheek Descent With aging the prominence of the cheek drops. You can address this by correcting the shift in volume. If there is excess skin you can do a facelift. If you want to add volume filler vs fat grafting would be the choice I would go with. An exam and thorough conversation would be ideal. Morpheus 8 is a good option for minor skin laxity, however I do think you need some additional volume to obtain the refreshed and rejuvenated look you are going for.

Answer: Face I would recommend a facelift/necklift. Buccal fat pad removal tends to actually age the face as there is removal of critical volume that is important for a youthful shape. This is particularly notable if there is not something down to the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend finding a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with 6 years of integrated plastic surgery residency training and aesthetic fellowship training. This highly differs from all other specialties who claim to be plastic surgeons including "facial plastic surgeon", "oculoplastic surgeon", "cosmetic surgeons", and other imposters out there. Best of luck!
