I have been on a journey to reduce my lower cheek fat. I have considered buccal removal, but I was told to not do this as I may look sunken in and I need the fat for when I become older. I have always had this fat and a round face, even at my skinniest. I’m still slim, and I’m now 31, and I’m done with it! I was going to do KyBella in the lower cheeks but my doctor told me no.. So I only did KyBella in my jowls and my double chin. I want that very slim tight jawline and heart shaped face. Lipo?

Answer: Buccal fat pad removal You are a candidate for buccal fat pad removal and it won't cause a problem for you later in life. In addition to removal of the buccal fat pad, I would recommend chin, jawline and jowl liposuction. In order to provide skin tightening, minimally invasive treatment like Ultherapy or Facetite may be helpful.

Answer: Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a second, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for further assessment. From your photos it appears you would indeed benefit from buccal fat pad removal. While this procedure can affect the aging process for some patients, most patients that have the surgery do not experience adverse effects of the fat pad removal over time. Buccal fat pad removal is a straightforward procedure that can be done using local anesthesia. Incisions are placed inside the mouth so there is no visible scarring after the surgery.
