Buccal Fat Removal or Face Liposuction? (photos)

July 7, 2016
Asked By:kennadeeglunt282 in Orange County, CA

I've always hated my "chubby cheeks" and as I've gotten older my cheeks have gotten "chubbier" with my body staying thin... I would like to have a thinner face that fits my body better, with or without more defined cheek bones. More specifically an oval rather than round facial appearance. I am a 20-year-old: 5'8" tall and 130 pounds, which procedure would I have a better outcome with?
