I'm 58 YO, recently had a face/neck lift which minimally improved my lower face but did not completely correct my jowls. I also have a very heavy lower face and was told in the past that I could benefit from buccal fat removal. Although I'd love a slimmer lower face, I'm not sure to would be the right procedure for me at my age. Any thoughts?
