22 year old with chubby cheeks, baby fat. I am very skinny on my body, but my cheeks make me look like I'm fat.

Asked By:Helpful1570 in Chicago, IL

I am 5 foot 8 and 115 pounds, so a very skinny girl, but I have always had a fat face. My cheekbones are naturally high so don’t need enhancement but below that my lower face is so heavy. When I suck in my cheeks it is the look i want to achieve. I have heard negative things about buccal fat removal, and also that it doesn’t make a difference. so I am thinking of micro cannula lipo in my cheeks or facetite in my cheeks. Are these common enough to have done? I want to have a more gaunt look.
