Patient question:
I have a more round complexion to my face my lower cheeks and around my jawline make my face seem very big. I was told the cause was my buccal pad fat but after researching it it seems like it could be perioral fat and/or fat/loose skin around my jawline that offsets my face..any suggestions on what may be the best thing to do to get me a more chiseled jawline and less puffy cheek areas? Roughly what would the price range be or what would you charge? I was told around 2200 for just buccal pads..
Dr. Mesa’s answer:
Male patients with round face and now well defined neck could benefit from both buccal fat removal, chin liposuction ( submental liposuction) and mild upper cheek bone enhancement.Buccal fat removal corrects the fullness of the lower anterior cheeks, thus slimming the face.Chin liposuction, when performed all along the jaw line helps to remove the double chin and enhance the jaw line thus giving the jaw a very defined, sharp and masculine lookCheek enhancement with soft tissue fillers like voluma, when performed with buccal fat removal, helps to achieve a V shape of the face, thus creating a chiseled look when combined with buccal fat removal.
