NOTE: I'd highly appreciate no generic answers please! Last time I posed this question, I only received generic information instead of having my query addressed. The upper half of my face is on the slim/angular side, thus I'm beginning to feel that my lower half (jowls) are too full for my face. My father has a lot of buccal fat as well, so I'm afraid that this is genetic. Would I be a good candidate for buccal fat removal? Thanks in advance!
