Asked By:j567 in new york, new york

Hi I am 43 yrs old, post op 3 weeks from buccal fat removal. I def see more sculpted cheekbones but I seem to have worse jowls. It’s like I hollowed in my cheeks and the fat dropped into pockets of fat near mouth. Is it still edema? or is it loose dropped skin where fat used to be? or is it pockets of fat? I don’t want a facelift. How do I best lift this area for that vline jaw? Should I try Botox? I’m upset because the proportion of the fat in my face looks off Balance.
