Hello, I had my buccal fat pad removed by an inexperienced surgeon who convinced me that my face was too round... I was persuaded by this surgeon because In fact I always was self conscious about my very round face and big cheeks. Now I’m turning 30 years old and frankly I feel like I look much older, I miss my round face and cheeks. What can I do? Perhaps the surgeon removed too much fat? I want to reverse this procedure. Please what can I do? Thank you for reading.
