Hello doctors! I have fat in my lower cheek area as well as weak cheekbones which makes me look bloated and unattractive. My options: 1. Buccal Fat Removal (Cons: too subtle?). 2. Liposuction (Cons: possibly not permanent?) 3. Implants Is there anything else that could work for me?
Dr. Mesas Answered: To improve the lower third of the face to make the male face more attractive and more masculine, different plastic surgery procedures could potentially be performed to achieve this goal.
- Buccal fat removal removes the fullness of the lower anterior third (chubby cheeks) thus making the face more chiseled and more adult male looking in patient with good high cheek bones.
- Liposuction of the chin (submental area) decreases/corrects the double chin, thus making the jaw and chin more define and more masculine in male patients
- Jaw implants, specially if placed at the level of the jaw angle will make the jaw to be more strong, more define and for sure more masculine , thus enhancing the bony structure of the lower third of the face
