I prefer a v shape look. Should i do buccal fat removal, ulthera, or something else? (Photos)

Question

I'm an asian woman in my mid 30s. Always had a square jaw and face and now am constantly receiving masseter botox every 6 months. I like keeping my jaw small so I am maintaining this. However, noticed that I still have part of my face that makes my face look round (I prefer a "v shape" look). Am I a candidate for conservative buccal fat removal or should this be addressed by Ulthera? Genetically, my dad also has a square/round face even up to now in his 60s.

Buccal fat removal, chin augmentation (or filler), and facetite to tighten the skin (more effective than ulthera). This is how I'd start.

Hello, and thank you for providing images along with your question. There are several jaw contouring options you can consider, including buccal fat pad removal. Facial fillers can also correct lower face asymmetries, augment the chin, and sculpt a more defined jawline. These fillers are often paired with neuromodulators like Botox to produce more dramatic results.

Profound RF (RF microneedling) can help produce new collagen to improve mild to moderate skin laxity in the neck and jawline. Energy devices will heat the dermis and stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin. To determine the best treatment or combination of treatments, schedule an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation, determine the best procedure(s) for you, and ensure the best possible outcome.
