January 9, 2024
Asked By:Bright122149 in Hannover, Niedersachsen, Germany

I'm a 54 year old female (menopausal) & I have some sagging skin & small jowls. My face has always been chubby & never lessened as I aged. I was convinced buccal fat removal wld help me to get a slimmer, contoured face & improve jowls, but 2 sep. plastic surgeons I saw both said Im not a good candidate b/c of my sagginess & removal wld make it sag more & my skin wld just hang. Also said to remove it wouldnt have noticable effect in my cheek size. Is this correct?
