Asked By:051kq in Lillington, NC

I am 18 yrs old, 5 ft. and 8 in. and 128 lbs, so I am not fat or chubby. My cheeks are droopy in the jaw area and I have a lot of fat in the sides of my nose, making this weird deep fold right at the sides. I feel like they age me many, many years. Whenever I tell someone I'm 18 they seem surprised... Would any of these help? - buccal fat removal - Cheek bone fillers - Nasolabial fold fillers - Face lift Would any of these procedures help? If not, are there any other ones I should consider?
