Hi! So I have a chubby round-ish face, my mother also has it, and a weak chin. My mother is now 55 and almost has no wrinkles, but has jowls, that’s bothering her. I am working as a model, and having a more angular face would benefit me for my work. But I don’t want it to age badly. Will getting buccal fat removal at 25 make my jowls worse in the future, or will it make that place less saggy? Also, does a chin implant help that? Sorry for asking so many questions.
