How to get rid of chipmunk cheeks and create hollow cheeks/ model look? (photos)

Jljames12Jul 24, 2014

I would like create that gaunt model look which include defined cheeks and chin. I went to a resident clinic and they do not do implants so my only option really is buccal fat removal which the chief surgeon said would show minimal results. Can anybody suggest a good filler to combine with fat removal? I know cheeks implants take a while to settle which I don't want
