I have a tendency to ramble, so please forgive me in advance. Basically, I haven't had any kind of plastic surgery so far. I'm 25 years old and generally find myself quite attractive but like anyone else, there are things I might change. I've always wanted a narrower face, and I was considering going this route to achieve that. I'm 5'3", 103lbs, 32D breasts but my face has always seemed a bit heavy in contrast to the rest of me which is quite tiny. I was adopted so I am unable to even make an educated guess if my face will thin out, but I really don't think it will. Alternately, I was considering subtle lip filler to restore my desired balance in the face, and I'm very open to suggestion and direction. Currently, I contour the F outta my face to make it look narrower- haha.

Hi Volpe,

Welcome to RealSelf! Thanks for starting your journey. There are a lot of options out there so it's worth taking it slow and doing your research.

Buccal fat removal isn't very common but can work for the right person. You might want to also post on the Doctor Q&A Forum to see if you're a good candidate. One of the concerns that comes up is how your face will look once you're older, but a great doctor should be able to give you an idea about that too.

Please keep us posted! :)

I had buccal fat removal when I was your age. I wish I would have listen to "The GOOD Doctors" that said they would NOT do it. I am now 40 and so wish I could go back in time. It was the worst mistake I made. I now look older than my age. As you get older your face naturally looses it's plump youthful appearance! You are beautiful! Don't make the same mistake I did!!! I have had many surgeries and this is the one I wish I could turn back and correct! Don't DO it! Take the advise from my experience and you will in time be grateful you DID NOT DO it!

Okay, let me get this straight. You do NOT need buccal fat removal. Your face is slim enough. Please don't waste your money. By the way, you are very pretty.
