I would like to reduce the size of my lower cheeks, which bulge somewhat, especially when smiling. - I've been recommended buccal fat removal and lipo. Which seems more promising/are there other options? - I definitely want to avoid lumps and unevenness from the procedure. Is this a major risk? - It would be a bonus if reducing the lower cheek could make my upper cheeks better defined, and address preexisting lumpiness around the chin. Are these feasible goals? Thanks!

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
