Hello and thank you for your question. With just one photo, it’s impossible to say whether you would be a good candidate for buccal fat removal surgery. The procedure, which removes the buccal fat pads in the mid and lower face, can help sculpt and define your cheekbones and jawline. Still, you may have less permanent options to consider. Botox can help slim the face by targeting the masseter muscles, while dermal fillers can add definition to your facial contours without removing your buccal fat pads. I highly recommend speaking with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
Based on this photo, you would be a good candidate for buccal fat removal. If your goal is to have a slimmer face, more defined cheekbones, and more contour, this procedure would be a good option for you. If you are looking for a more temporary, less invasive option that would help taper the lower third of the face, you may consider masseter reduction with Botox and chin augmentation with a dermal filler, such as Resalyne or Juvederm. Although these work on different areas, they create a similar effect of tapering the jaw line. Consult with a board certified surgeon to ensure the best results. @drdonyoo
