Who is Deep Cheek & Jowl Lifting for?
- Cheek fat beside the mouth has started to sag
- Your jawline looks uneven or broken
How Deep Cheek & Jowl Lifting works
Heavy buccal fat and sagging jowl fat both blur the jawline. Buccal fat is reduced through an incision inside the mouth, while jowl fat can be reduced with fine liposuction.
Removing fat alone can leave loose skin, so threads or devices are added to tighten the area.
