Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal and chin fat grafting? (Photos)

March 18, 2023
Asked By:LW2012 in San Diego, CA

I’m in my forties and am seeing some serious drooping in my cheeks… almost as if they have dropped and formed little pouches that hang at my jawline. I have been recommended to have buccal fat removal, a lower facelift, and fat grafting to the chin. I am concerned about the buccal fat removal, because I don’t want to end up looking to hollow as I get older. I’m also concerned, because I don’t have a good chin… it’s small and very narrow. Am I a good candidate?
