Chipmunk Cheeks Even After Weight Loss. What Can You Recommend to Remove Cheek Fat?
I am 5'1" and I weight 103. I now have chipmunk cheeks. I weighed this all through high s & college. I went through some bad times and gained 30 pounds. I have always been very active in the gym and athletic through school so I bounced right back....except for my cheeks. They are so huge that when I smile they make my eyes close. I have normally bright big eyes but upon smiling look like I have squinty straight eyes. So much that in face shots I still lol like I weigh the extra 30lbs.

Chipmunk Cheeks?
There is a procedure called "Buccal Lipectomy" where the fat pads in the cheeks are removed. Clearly, without photos I can't advise on whether you're a good candidate or not for that procedure. However, at least can start researching this procedure.

Facial Contouring
It is impossible to advise without photos. Depending on where you have the volume you may be a candidate for facial sculpting. By what you are describing it sounds as if your volume is not in your lower face this would eliminate a buccal lipectomy. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and will be informed as to what your options are.

Pictures would be helpful to see the size of your cheeks and the exact location of your cheek fat. The question is whether even a buccal lipectomy would be helpful given your description of the size of your cheeks.
