Is there any way to slim down fat cheeks?

July 2, 2015
Asked By:Donna1937 in Denmark, SC

My cheeks are extremely fat and chipmunk like. Some days i think they're cute, and other days i loathe them. Is there any way to slim them down a little? Not anything as drastic as buccal fat removal, but something subtle. I have briefly tried facial excersizes, but they dont really work do they? Thank you doctors in advance :)

Would high prominent cheekbones make a person with close set eyes look like a chipmunk?
Ben Talei, MD says:

Unfortunately you can't answer this without seeing photos.  In patients with deep set eye sockets cheek implants can make them look deeper because of a malar shelf, but again it is hard to advise without photos.
