Im 27 and feel as though my face gives me an angry bulldog look, looks like sagging in the cheek and jowl area, and ages me. While I have always had chubbier cheeks, I feel like they've started to sag and I want to achieve a flush and smooth transition from cheek to chin and along the jawline as much as possible. Would buccal fat removal be the way to go, or would that create more potential for accentuated jowls? Especially over time and with age. Should I address the issue with something else?
Answer: Cheek and facial definition In order to create a more contoured and angled appearance there are a few procedures that can be combined to achieve this result. The blacked out areas prevent an assessment of the anterior cheek, but I would guess that it lacks projection and would benefit from lift and projection with cheek implants. The lower face can be made slimmer with buccal fat pad removal and lower face and jowl liposuction. All 3 procedures can be performed simultaneously.

Answer: How to slim the lower face and improve the facial contour It is difficult to do a full assessment of your concerns based on the limited photos provided. However, I can tell you that you appear to be an excellent candidate for buccal fat pad removal. This outpatient procedure is performed with local anesthesia and incisions inside the mouth that allow for the removal of the buccal fat pad located under the cheekbone. This single treatment will offer a significant amount of slimming in the mid to lower face. It is also possible you might benefit from additional augmentation to the cheeks or chin to further enhance your facial contour. However, I would need to see you in person to provide a thorough examination and discussion of your concerns and goals. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to that assessment and treatment recommendations.

Answer: Bulldog Appearance Thanks for the nice question and description. If you can send or upload a side picture we can determine your chin balance. Soft tissues of the face rest on the bony structure below and if the chin is too far behind the lower lip this is inadequate and we refer to this as a weak chin. Buccal Fat Removal combined with a chin implant or chin filler can really improve the bulldog appearance you have described. In your case I would first assess the images carefully and the other thing you may consider is filler along the zyogmatic arch to again enhance the architecture and restore the facial proportions.
