First, I am fron a family of overly chubby cheeks. My mom and dad both 50s have chubby droopy chimpmunk cheeks. I weigh 55kg for my 5ft 1inch height but looks overweight.Recently, I went to inquire to two surgery clinics. One recommended buccal fat removal and the other acculift. I just want definition with my cheeks as you can see in the photo. Which procedure do you think is the best? And I am 23. (Will both procedure make my face saggy later on) Thank you in advance!
