Can fat be transferred from jaw to cheekbones? (Photo)

linaabooFeb 22, 2022
23(f) in the past 2 years i’ve accumulated a lot of excess skin at my jaw and the fat that once sat on my cheekbones is slowly sinking to form jowls and a double chin. can fat be transferred from jaw into cheekbones? i’m considering liposuction for my submental fat and i really miss the fullness of my cheeks. would there be a better or more permanent solution to my premature sagging? i’m also getting masseter botox and laser resurfacing, ideally i’d avoid a full facelift

David formation are the two edges of the front talus muscles. In the center of the V there is no muscle and that is what that three-dimensional contour represents. Carefully placed fillers can probably restore the central forehead contour but it’s important that the fillers be placed in a way t...

Thank you for your photos. The chin appears weak and the jaw appears underdeveloped. These are not the nicest terms but they describe what bothers you. The good news is this is very easy to improve. A chin implant can be placed through a very small incision and balance your profile. Jaw...
