Hello, docs. For few years I am thinking of buccal fat pads reduction. I am almost 25 now. I look youngish in person, but I want more photogenic appearance. Since my childhood, I dream about more delicate (skinny) face. I dont want buccal fat pads full excision, just reduction. What part of fat pads shoul be removed to slim my face, not to make my older (now, not in the future) ? I really hate mysef on photos. Give me some opinion and professional advice, please. Thank you.
