22, female, 5'7, heavy lower face, would buccal fat removal help, or something else? (Photos)

Hi, I’ve attached a picture of myself at different weights. I’m 22 female and I am 5’7 tall. My body is very skinny. But whenever I do gain weight it goes to my face.I have since lost weight again and I am now 116lbs, but the stubborn lower cheek fat remains. I used to have a contoured face. Now I look fat even tho I’m not! What procedure would help? Would buccal fat removal address the lower area?

Thank you for your question and photos. Both Botox and buccal fat removal can slenderize the jawline and reduce fullness in the lower third portion of the face. Since you like the results you’ve received from Botox injections, you are likely to also appreciate the contour provided with buccal f...
