Would buccal fat removal significantly reduce my face size?

T
tom2020Jul 25, 2024

Good morning, I'm 22 years old (136 lbs, 5' 8'') and I absolutely hate how my face looks. It looks extremely big and round compared to my body, so round that it almost looks unhealthy in my opinion. I was wondering if I could be a good candidate for the procedure, considering my facial anatomy and shape. Also, I was wondering if it is possible to get significant, not subtle, results from this surgery alone, because I'd really like to reduce my face "size" a lot

You next step should be a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Once the nature of this bulk is confirmed (fat deposit or something else) this can be removed by means of liposuction or direct excision. Good luck.
