Fat in my cheeks have dropped a lot - Would a cheek lift improve my contour? (photos)

Asked By:alexa_bil97 in New York, New York

It looks like I have buccal fat and the fat in my cheeks have dropped a lot, I used to have them fuller when I was younger (I'm 23 now). Even when I laugh, it looks like I have no volume in my face. What do you think are the right procedures here? I've heard a lot of things about how buccal fat removal can make you look much older than you are, so would a cheek lift help? Thank you!
