Question

Hello I have always carried weight at the bottom of my face- this is something that is hereditary and will not shift even with weight loss. Can anyone advise what would be the best procedure to slim this area? Would it be buccal fat removal? Thanks Irma

Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit from a combination of buccal fat removal and liposuction to create the slimmer face shape you’re looking for. Removing buccal fat tissue can reduce the weight carried in the lower part of the face while sculpting the cheekbones and jawline. Facial liposuction can enhance your results by removing excess fat in other areas and creating a youthful jawline contour. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your concerns with you and help you decide on the best treatment options.

Buccal fat removal with jawline lipo are commonly done together to get the best results! Removing some buccal fat will take a little weight off the jowls and jawline, and the lipo will help to sculpt and define the jawline even further. You also appear to have a slight asymmetry in your jaw, which may be improved with jawline contouring. This procedure would essentially shave down part of your jawline to create more symmetry and stronger "V" shape.
