I’m a 30-year-old female, naturally on the leaner side and not carrying any extra weight. However, regardless of my weight, my lower face seems heavy, and I feel that my chubby cheeks make it look weighed down. What could help improve this? Would treatments like buccal fat removal, liposuction, or PDO threads be effective solutions?

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal

Removing a portion of the buccal fat pad will not change the appearance of your nasolabial folds or make you look gaunt. It is possible to only remove a portion of the buccal fat pads. The effect of having a small amount of the fat pad removed results in a more prominent Ogee curve and nothing...
Buccal fat with something called accutite is a great solution for what you are seeing. We can do all this with no excisions on the outside and can get very nice tightening and improvement right in the office.
