Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal? If not what would you recommend? (Photos)

Asked By:5B3e4e7r6 in Santa Cruz, California

I have always had this lower face chubbiness that I’ve hated so much. I hate the shadow it casts over my chin/ side of my mouth, seems like it kind of makes my face look saggy. I worry that as I get older it will turn into jowls if I don’t do anything about it now. I was thinking about doing fat transfer to the hollowness of my chin afterwards as well to help minimize the shadow even more. I’ve heard this procedure works well on people with prominent cheek bones & I feel like mine are decent
