Buccal fat reduction for v shaped face 33 years old - would this fix asymmetry? (Photo)

Celebrated220810Dec 5, 2025

You do seem to have a bit of buccal fat fullness based on your side photos so that could be an option if you want to go down that track. Another option to get better neck/jawline contour for you would be to consider a deep neck lift.
