Extra skin on lower face. Can any procedure tighten the skin and give me a more sculpted cheek? (Photo)

May 1, 2022
Asked By:hehetreats in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hi! I am a 32 year old female and my cheeks have always bothered me. People have said I have chubby cheeks, and I've always liked the sculpted look. I went in for a buccal fat removal consultation, and the doctor said I didn't have enough buccal fat to do the procedure, and the protrusion I'm seeing in my lower cheek area is actually excess skin. Is there any procedure that can help tighten the skin and give me a more sculpted cheek? I already use 0.05% tretinoin everyday.
