Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. It's understandable to feel concerned about changes in your appearance after weight gain and multiple cosmetic procedures. Buccal fat removal can lead to a slimmer face initially, but if you've gained weight since then, it’s common for fat to redistribute, including in areas like the lower cheeks. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat (under the chin) and can also be used in other areas to help contour the face. It works by dissolving fat cells, which can provide a more sculpted appearance in the treated areas. Since you're looking to address concerns with your lower cheeks, Kybella could be an option worth considering. I hope this helps and best of luck!
