From the pictures you've sent, Buccal Fat Removal can reduce the volume of the area of the cheeks.

Looking 'gaunt' is a common fear when you get older, however, an experienced surgeon would be able to outline the optimal amount to remove.

Good morning Magical4233,
I hope this message finds you well. From what I gather you are undergoing a 360 degree body liposuction with a chin and neck liposuction as well and are considering getting a buccal fat removal? If you are undergoing a chin and neck liposuction yhour jawline and chin would definitely get well augmented and defined. From what I can gather from your images - it would seem that a buccal fat removal would accentuate even better definition of your jaw and thin out your cheeks. If anything it would add to your youthful exuberance. Usually anywhere between 3-4 ml of fat can be removed from each side's buccal fat. That is a decision that can be taken at a later stage once you recover from your liposuction as well as it is an outpatient procedure. Although an image is a great starting point , I would recommend a video consultation / in person consultation with a board certified Aesthetic Plastic surgeon to take this forward and thoroughly answer your query.
