Is 20 too young for buccal fat removal? Will it make you age more long-term?

Blue119119119
Hi I am asian and I have a wide cheeks I want to make my face slimmer so I was thinking about buccal fat removal but upon researching, I found out after buccal fat removal, your face will look more hollow as you grow older and you would age faster/older. And doing buccal fat removal at age 20 isn’t really good is that true? Should I do Botox instead?
