Will buccal fat removal make me look gaunt in 20 years? (Photo)

February 2, 2021
Asked By:peachyyyy in San Francisco, CA

Is buccal fat removal worth it? Is it going to create loose skin and sag where the fat is taken out? Is it going to make me look gaunt in 20 years? Or is something else like cheek filler or tightening a better way to do it. I'm a mid 30s female looking to improve facial contour, get more of an egg shape. Would also like more sculpted and prominent cheekbones. Thanks!
