23, 185lbs, 6ft, would Buccal fat removal/cheek implants be good? (Photos)

Question

I feel I have a round look to my face despite being at an extremely low body fat percentage. I feel the root of the issue is my cheekbones, they don’t feel as defined or pronounced as they should. Wondering what could fix my problem. Would Buccal fat removal/cheek implants be good? I am 23 years old and 185lbs at 6ft, although I am only around 10% bodyfat and follow a strict diet, so the puffiness of my face is an enigma to me.

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for posting your photos and questions. I don't think you would see much improvement in your facial aesthetics from buccal fat removal. Cheek implants would help with the fullness and projection of your cheeks. I generally like to see a profile view of one's face when making this recommendation, but your midface contour appears relatively flat. You don't need anything in cheekbone width, so submalar implants would be a good choice. Hope this helps!

Best,
Dr. Tower

The reduction of buccal fat is not indicated in your face. In order to improve cheek projection, I would recommend cheek implants to increase the convexity of the area below your eyes. There is a flatness to that area which detracts from your facial appearance. The implants would have projection and contour.
