Difference between Buccal fat removal and lower face liposuction?

August 14, 2016
Asked By:katrinawang in Chicago, IL

Hi. I am interested in getting one or both of these procedures done because I have a fat face. But I don't understand the difference between these two procedures. Do they target on different areas? Do they reinforce each other? Thanks!
