Hi all, I seem to have a bulge of fat around the area to the sides of my mouth down to the jowl. Is the fullness here caused by the shallow fat or the deep fat? Does buccal fat continue this far down? What’s my best option here? I see this area is frequently treated in addition when people recieve submental liposuction, but I can’t seem to find many examples where it is treated on its own.
Answer: Lower Face Fat Liposuction I know exactly what you're talking about and I don't believe that buccal fat removal will give you what you're looking for. I come close to fixing this problem with microcannula liposuction of the lower cheek, but I have to admit that it may not be a complete fix the way you've depicted it in your desired photo.Please have a look at the blog I'm listing below because I think it might help you understand the what I mean a little better.Good Luck!

Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: How can I slim the superior & inferior jowl fat pads? buccal fat removal may be not the answer Jows are a combination of fat and skin present commonly in the edge of the jaw line. They are associated with facial aging. Jowls are not caused by enlarged buccal fat pads. Therefore buccal fat removal does not improve jowls. Jowls could be improved with procedures that directly decrease the fat and tightens the skin in the jowl area. One option is liposuction. Another option is FaceTite ( radio-frequency skin tightening). Another option is Morpheus8. The treatment depends on the degree of the jowls, recovery time desired and the expectations of the patient.
