Had a consult with a surgeon initially about removing buccal fat and chin lipo to slim my face and add definition. He suggested also transferring fat to cheeks and to my chin to give it a more v shape. Also my under my eyes are very hollow but he said it wasn't a good idea to add fat there so I'm worried that adding fat to my cheeks will make my under eyes look even more hollow. Just feel depressed with my face. What would be the best procedures to get a more contoured face. Thank you!
