Options for Getting Rid of "Baby Face"?

March 1, 2009
Asked By:rlf2000 in Los Alamitos, CA

I was born with a lot of fat on my face, people always tell me I have a "baby face". I'm 26 and I had my buccal fat pads removed, which has helped. The only problem is that I have excess fat/tissue along my jawline. I don't know if there's enough to actually do a lower facelift, but there's too much of it to fix with just laser treatments or other skin-tightening procedures. What are my options?
