Which procedures to reduce cheek fat and prejowl fold: buccal fat removal, cheek liposuction, prejowl sulcus filler? (photos)

itzecuevasOct 20, 2020
I dislike how my prejowls folds are prominent, not sure if its due to my big cheeks or if I just need filler in the area or both. I would like to have something done to make the appearance of my lower face less saggy and help me recover my cheekbones. Also, I am not sure if I should consider liposuction on my neck to help my jawline and reduce that saggy look. I am very skinny, so the face fat is genetically there and will not go away with exercise.
