I have quite heavy, saggy lower cheeks and they take up a lot of space inside mouth and get in way when I am chewing. There are bite marks on the inside of my mouth. I have heard buccal fat removal is aging but I feel having fat lower cheeks is more aging on me and is starting to cause jowling because I also have a weak jawline which isn't strong enough to support my lower cheeks. The photo on left is my face normally and the right is me sucking in my cheeks. What is the best procedure for me?
