Updated: Hi, I have very chubby cheeks that get very broad when I smile. I also am at a stable weight, only 117 pounds, but am carrying more fat in my face. I'm 38, so it's not baby fat. My aunt (who I favor in appearance), is 60 years old and her buccal fat has never slimmed down :0 Would I benefit from buccal fat removal? I'd also like more chin definition. Looking for an overall slimmer face!

Buccal fat with something called accutite is a great solution for what you are seeing. We can do all this with no excisions on the outside and can get very nice tightening and improvement right in the office.
Hello, hope you are well. Based on the information and photos that you provided, buccal fat removal would be an excellent option for you. It is an 'invisible' procedure with minimal downtime and low visibility (no scars). Morpheus8 may help your skin elasticity and texture, but it will not do...
I am sorry you are experiencing this discomfort. First, I believe you should go to your surgeon since he/she knows you best and can take charge of the problem. It sounds like you might have experienced either asymmetric fat reduction or potentially a fluid collection/something like sialocele....
