Would reducing my chubby cheeks and jowls be worth it? Would getting bigger lips work well? (Photos)

Question

In selfies, I look fine to myself but whenever im caught on film or camera by someone else I can't help but hate how I look. It bothers me immensely and I don't want to live with it anymore.

Most females usually pose for a selfie sucking their cheeks and comprising their lips ( like when kissing) to have a temporary slimmer lower face look . However, when not doing that and caught in camera, the result is not the same (because obvious reasons).Fullness of the lower cheeks could be improved with a plastic surgery procedure called buccal fat removal. This procedure permanently removes the fullness of the lower cheeks thus helping to achieve a thinner lower face that looks good in camera at any time.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

It sounds like having "chubby" cheeks really bothers you. This is a very personal choice you will have to make, but I might suggest you also consider dermal fillers for the lips, Botox to slim down the masseter muscles, and possibly the buccal fat removal. Have a formal consultation to fully answer your question.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)
