Hello, the resolution of baby fat varies from person to person. For some individuals, baby fat disappears by their early twenties; however, for others, it persists more stubbornly. Moreover, as one ages and skin elasticity declines, facial sagging may accentuate facial fullness in those with residual baby fat. If you are unhappy with prominent baby fat, facial contouring via lipolytic injections is an option—noticeable results are typically achieved after approximately three treatment sessions. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
