Please excuse the huge double chin. It's Kybella which I got done 1 week ago. My question is about the fat on the lower cheek area. I'm 39. Are there any newer techniques that could help me get rid of it? My only worry is that I don't want wrinkled skin there if the fat is somehow removed since that would make me look probably worse.
