Candidate for buccal fat removal - alternatives? (photo)

December 21, 2017
Asked By:adgjl. in Germany, DE

What I've learned from my research about buccal fat removal is that it basically removes fat from the 'lower cheeks' and therefore slims that part of the face down. I'm not sure if this would be the right procedure for me, as my 'upper cheeks' are even chubbier than the lower ones and they would probably stick out even more afterwards? However I can't find any alternatives and would appreciate some opinions.
