Lost 70lbs— My Lower Face STILL Looks Off. Will Buccal Fat Removal Fix It or Make It Worse?

[TiredofJesteriny]

Hey for honest advice on improving my lower face.

I’ve leaned out a lot (used to be ~215 lbs), 150lbs now, so my face is noticeably slimmer now, but I think I’m left with a bit of loose skin and some residual fullness in the lower cheeks/jaw area.

I’m considering buccal fat removal, specifically not full removal, more like 2/3 reduction to get a sharper and more defined look without going too hollow. Do you think that’s a good idea for someone in my situation at 21 or would that risk making the loose skin more noticeable?

Also, since there might be some mild skin laxity from weight loss, would something like Morpheus8 (RF microneedling) actually help tighten things enough to make a difference? Or is that more cope and not strong enough for this area?

Goal is a sharper lower face/jawline without looking aged or overdone. Open to blunt opinions.

looks like you could lose more weight tbh, a good indicator is the neck as it's mostly uniform across all bone structures, yours is still fat.

Heres a pic of some girl I know's neck ( yours won't look this lean but it's an example of what I mean by "lean neck" )

as you can see the neck is very defined here, you can pick out the different muscles. Literally look at any picture of a lean guy and look at the neck yours looks very different.

Good job on the fat loss though, you probably will notice the most drastic facial differences from here on out

Yeah horrible fat distribution for me. Unfortunately my arms and legs get really lean while I still hold some fat in my love handles and face. But I think even if I lost some more weight, id have to get some fat pads removed.

 

[TiredofJesteriny]

yes u need it

The buccal fat removal or skin tightening for loose skin? Or both?

Also is Morpheus 8 legit or cope? I don’t want to get a facelift at this age.

you aren't lean

imho that's all cope, if you can't see veins in your arm and on your abs then you aren't lean enough to start thinking about fat removal. Arms and legs usually do look super lean and it's only ever a good thing

I am super vascular in my arms even without taking cialis. Can see little veins on one side of my abs but still have fat stored in love handles and face. Fat distribution is definitely legit. I’m still going to continue cutting to at least 140. I had a consultation with a very experienced doctor and she said skin tightening would be great because there is loose skin which makes the fat look worse (she could tell when I pulled my skin outwards).

 

[TiredofJesteriny]

So don’t even consider buccal fat removal or skin tightening until I reach at least135-140lbs? I’m 5’11.5 exactly at 148-150 average right now.

cialis

the ED pill lol?

Yeah your probably not lean enough... if you have loose skin you probably are cutting too quickly and not having the proper nutrients to allow your skin to be elastic

Do you have abs I bet you don't

Okay bro youre just using Santa Cruz talking points now. I was 215 years ago and am jusy now at my leanest I’ve been ever.

When im sitting no, in good lighting yes. I definitely know they can look better and I’d look better 5-15lbs less which is why im still cutting down

I have never watched santa cruz, how would I know his talking points lol? I don't care that this is your leanest, this isn't lean enough to even remotely consider buccal fat removal. Go lose weight the proof is in your neck as I have said before that is the one area that leans out the same for everybody
