Facial Lipo, Jowl Fat Pocket, Jowl Lipo, Facelift for fat pockets - what is the best option for removing this? (photos)

February 26, 2022
Asked By:Elena.Tx in Winters, Texas

F/26/5’7”/115lbs/hispanic I have what seems to be protruding Jowl Fat Pockets. I think, I’ve seen some people add filler to camouflage them. I would like them removed. I do not think they’re in the buccal area. It’s around the corners of my mouth. Are there option for removing this? Specifically facial lipo or could they be cut out? I’ve seen a post on Smart Lipo under local. Are the risks minimal or high given the area is around the mouth? What could be the cost in your area?
