30, female & heavy lower face, what could improve this? (Photo)

Question

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?

Hello, hope you are well. Based on the photo you submitted, you would be a great candidate for buccal fat removal. Usually I like to see the frontal view before giving that advice, but even on the oblique you can appreciate the buccal fullness (in front of the masseter muscle and below the cheek bone). This is a very simple, low risk, low downtime procedure done under local anesthesia in the office. It results in no visible scarring, and is very effective for contouring the lower cheeks.

Best,

Based on your post of photos and your request for minimally or non-invasive surgeries, I would recommend a full face neck, chin and delays with a sideburn lift with muscle lift. Virtual consult with fee 8000 to 15,000
