How Do I Improve the Hourglass Shape of my Face? (photo)

Amy in Maryland
I am 21 years old, and I believe my "problem" is buccal fat. It's hereditary, as my dad has the same shape face. Ever since I was a child, I had super chubby cheeks, but as I got older, my face slimmed but only in the middle. My face is really bottom heavy. My cheeks are also not symmetrical at all. Is buccal fat reduction what can make my face look less hourglass shaped, or do I require jaw shaving or something?
