Can a partial buccal fat removal be performed? What are the options for getting a thinner more defined face?

October 29, 2016
Asked By:wavemoth in San Francisco, CA

I recently got kybella to start on getting a more defined jaw but I still have cheeks. I've heard many doctors often defer patients from getting buccal fat removal because it will cause you to look gaunt as you get older. What options are there for a more defined face? Specifically working on the cheek area?
