Why do Some People Have Apple Cheeks and Others Fat, Flat Cheeks? Structurally, what separates full, defined apple cheeks (i.e. Mariah Carey and Victoria Justice) from flat, fat cheeks? Is it a matter of where fat is located in the cheek, the thickness of the cheekbone, or something else altogether? I ask because some people have a lot of fat in their faces yet their cheeks look relatively flat and amorphous. What's going on here?

A: Youthful Cheeks

The basic answer to your question of why some people have "apple cheeks" and others have flatter cheeks is gravity. Although some young people have less prominent cheek bones than others, gravity accompanying the aging process si the main problem. A specific fat pad (malar) tends to descend lower onto the face as we age. It can be moved superiorly or fat can be added to help correct this.
