Best Option for Lower Cheek/jowl Fat?

April 27, 2010
Asked By:9954anon in Midwest

I'm in my mid 20's and have always been thin. However I've always had chubby lower cheeks that make me look sad or like I have sagging cheeks. (Although it's not really sagging, I can feel the pocket of fat on both sides) I've seen two doctors, one said that pro lipo would give me great results. The other said not to do pro lipo and that it would end up looking bumpy. What are the options for removing fat in this area? Would you recommend pro lipo?
