Filler after buccal fat / jaw lipo? How soon? 2 or 3 weeks OK?

February 15, 2018
Asked By:class24 in West Hollywood, CA

2 weeks post neck Lipo with a little buccal fat reduction...the combination of both looks strange. I now have an uneven jaw/ chin line as the buccal as contoured too sharply my face/ profile. I can identify the "gaps " that would need some sort of filling to even out my profile (streamline my chin to Jawline) so I was wondering if I can get filler or is a partial liquid facelift? there is swelling still and a better option is fat transfer, however, back in work in 10 days:( so 2or 3 weeks ok ?
