Trying to figure out if Fat Disolve injections would solve my problem or if instead need buccal removal.
Also yes I know I have other Falios like ears etc but im tryna focus on this one atm.
Basically I have hella puffy cheeks some photos i look okay then some I look rlly chopped I have a round face even though im really lean I train MMA etc

also idk how i look so vastly different in the one pic i attached vs the 2nd one I look acceptable the other sub 5

I do not think your cheeks are puffy at all. I think you're speaking about those lumps around the corners of your mouth, which aren't really your cheeks right?

Those are called perioral mounds. Plastic surgeons usually offer 2 solutions for this:
  1. Liposuction
  2. Chin Implants/Genioplasty
I'd opt for the second one, the mounds form in almost all cases because your chin is recessed and doesn't offer enough support, so that fat tissue gets lumped like that. Instead of getting buccal fat (which wouldn't really address them, you're probably thinking of liposuction in the area) or a fat dissolvent, you should probably better look into a chin implant or genioplasty. It's a 2-for-1 deal really cuz it looks like you'd benefit from it in more than 1 regard.

Wow that actually makes sense my chin is quite recessed and I was already looking into genioplasty, I never realised the recession could cause the perioral mounds fat or whatever to be fuller

Yes, absolutely, in fact it's common practice to get filler done first before you commit to genio or implants. Although, I think you're a better candidate for a chin implant rather than genioplasty.

btw, just in case you mention it, silicon implants or the older types are pretty shit, but with newer implant technologies such as ones done with porous polyethylene you get no bone resorption, and they have lower risks of rejection by the body. I'd get an implant if I were you ngl

I can't rlly get an implant cause I do MMA and getting punched probably not a good idea with them, I also am christian so I don't mind getting corrective surgery with my own bone but adding stuff in that shouldn't be is slightly wrong imo only reason I am fine with filler is cause it goes away

If I still have the fat cheeks after a genio or filler should I then consider fat disolve injections or buccal or whats the next plan after that?

Oh well, if it's for personal reasons like religion or you just wanna be safer for MMA then it's fine, genioplasty likely works as well, though it's less customizable, though if you cared, past the healing period and assuming your implant is placed properly and covering the periosteum, then the force required to move that thing is the same force required to break your jaw.

So really, if you're fighting anyone capable of dislodging your chin implant, then I'm sure that would be the least of your problems :lul:

Again, do whatever you feel comfortable with, just know that it's best if you deal with your chin instead of trying to remove or dissolve the fat in your mounds, that doesn't even give good results most of the time.

If you still think you have fat cheeks after the genio, then it depends on how much money you have. Ideally go for the buccal fat removal, if you just don't wanna pay for allat, get the fat dissolvent injections.

Do you vouch for buccal removal or are you against it? and yeah ill get chin sorted first if still having problems ill go with buccal probably

I'm not necessarily against it, some people do have genetically chubby cheeks, however I don't personally think that's your case beyond the chin fixing. But again, if that doesn't work, then I think it's perfectly fine to do the buccal fat if you have the money for it.

Beware that if this is overdone, down the line you may regret this because of natural aging

Nah, I don't think you're a good fit for bimax. The only two things I'd consider based on your side is enhancement through the chin area and your ramus.

Bimax seems like overkill considering how expensive and invasive it is, your issue is only that you lack a bit of chin projection, you probably have no bite issues. So I wouldn't do the bimax.

last thing, know any surgeons who do good genioplasty in turkey or nearby>?
 
Your cheeks appear to be actually pretty lean, you could even see some hollowness in the first picture. I commented on your last post about how you would be good fit for BFR, but looking at your pictures again and more carefully, I could tell that your cheeks are pretty lean, and you would just need implants for your jaw width and zygos.

I personally think a bimax or even a trimax would be considerable, but don't take my word on it or some other dude's word on it in the internet.

Go to a consultation with a good plastic surgeon and get a proper assessment.

BTW my buccal fat removal date has been set, and the surgeon told me I have chubby cheeks and I would benefit from it.

Just to end this long ass message, I've seen some people challenge a doctor by telling him that the implants can get damaged from physical contact and will get ruined. The doctor said that this is wrong and he has done many implants on all sorts of people, including boxers for example, and that the implants will not get ruined due to physical contact.

Ur actually facially lean asf. I think the issue is your jaw width and zygos, your midface also seems recessed (which does not contribute to hollow cheeks, many people claim a bad maxilla can ruin hollow cheeks and this is simply not true). So I'm not gonna give you recommendations for your mid face since that is not the issue you are concerned with.

But as I said, go get a consultation in a good clinic where they could assess you properly.

My unprofessional recommendations that should be taken with a grain of salt: jaw implants, zygo implants.
These are the only recommendations that should fix your issue for a puffy face. Your jaw is a average width and your zygos are also very average. Good zygos and a wide jaw are the main contributors for hollow cheeks.

You have a little fat in the face to begin with, so I personally think that you should not touch ur buccal fat pads.

Again, if you really want to tackle the issue, please go to a consultation, asking questions .org can only do so much for you, take action.

You are an average looking guy though, so if you decide against surgeries, then that is completely understandable, but you are here so I assume you want to have something done.

Also, I see you've made many posts about this issue. Take action brother. Trust me, people will throw much shit around here or even insult you here, so making many posts like this will become pointless.

Go get a consultation, tell the surgeon what your concerns are and you will get a proper assessment and a plan. The surgeon will most likely provide you a lot good information that you are looking for.

Without action you will forever be stuck in that loop.

Much love bro, you seem like a decent dude and I hope everything goes well for you!

Thank you man, I’m kinda tryna build a plan while I save up the money but who should I be consulting for something like this? A maxillofacial surgeon or?

Preferably a maxfac, but any board certified plastic surgeon should be an okay fit. If the surgeon is not board certified, do some research about him/her.

Just make sure the clinic is good.
