Hello, I've recently had a chin implant and next liposuction. I've always had heavy lower cheeks, almost like pouches which I hate. Mum and her mother have them... I was wondering if Buccal fat would help or a lower face lift with or without Buccal fat removal? I hate my cheeks and really want something done. I'm 36 and been like this since mid 20's. Inherited. Thoughts appreciated :)
