I'm 42, I've always had a round face and hated it. As I'm aging, my round face is sagging a little. I was looking into buccal fat removal but since my jowls are aging I'm worried it might now be the right procedure.

I've been getting fillers every years since I turned 34 so you won't see the exact quality of my natural skin on these pictures
