Hi! Thanks for sharing your concerns, since you’ve already had masseter Botox and still notice lower face fullness, buccal fat removal might help &mdash; especially if the bulk is from fat rather than muscle. With a BMI of 20, you’re likely slim overall, so a skilled surgeon would need to evaluate carefully to avoid over-removal, which can cause hollowing over time.
It’s best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your facial structure and see if buccal fat removal (or another contouring option) is right for you.
