I'm 29 & I've had chubby cheeks my whole life. In my early 20s, I put on weight then I lost about 50 lbs. After the weight loss, I'm left w/ chubby cheeks that are now uneven and lax skin on my cheeks. I've thought about buccal fat removal surgery for years but now w/ my loose skin and asymmetry, it doesn't seem like buccal fat removal alone will address all 3 issues. Would a mini facelift + buccal fat removal be appropriate to? Goal: contoured cheekbones, pronounced apples, tight skin, symmetry.
