I am 20yo slim female. However, I have always had an issue with how big and droopy my cheeks are in the lower third of my face. My jawline is nonexistent and I have a chin implant and a laser liposuction. Is this a buccal fat removal issue, or my pre jowl succulus? What can be done to permanently fix this ( as opposed to fillers or anything of that sort)? How would buccal fat removal affect the shape of my face? Would it improve my profile?

Answer: Would buccal fat removal work? Buccal Fat Excision candidate Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your pictures, it is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of this procedure in your situation. I hope this helps.

Answer: I hate the lower third of my face, would buccal fat removal work? = it might but might not be the only solution. To improve the lower third of the face it is necessary to find out what physical characteristic is causing the dislike.If fullness of the lower anterior face (chubby cheeks) is the cause of the aesthetically unpleasant lower third of the face, buccal fa removal could improve this finding. The video below helps to understand who could be a candidate for buccal fat removal.If a small or nor well anteriorly projecting chin is the cause, then either a chin augmentation with implant or soft tissue filler like voluma could greatly improve this finding.
