Three years ago I had a lower face lift, including l neck lift, lipo on jawline and fat grafting in cheeks. Months later I developed lumps in my lower cheeks. My surgeon said it was buccal fat. I have since talked with two top surgeons and they said it was not buccal fat and possibly fibrosis where the lumps remain. One suggested Thermage and one suggested to use filler around it. I have since moved to AZ and want to see what can be done to fix it. The appearance has not changed in the 3 years.
