i consider i have quite a fat face ,can i get fat reduction/tightened in the lower face to gain a tight defined jawline without to much trouble.
thankyou.

yes and no. reducing fat in the face is a nightmare for the following reasons:
1. open liposuction or regular liposuction of the face can potentially lead to contour deformities. i had one lady that i begged her not to do it. she went down the street and was left with contour deformities, which i fixed several months ago with fat grafting.
2. although the accent xl can help shape and contour jowls and neck non-surgically, it is not equal to liposuction or lifting.
3. mesotherapy and lipodissolve simply are not great in the face and really don't work that well as a standalone treatment modality.
