Would Lipodissolve Reduce Buccal Fat in Cheeks?

Hi, I am slim with very chubby cheeks, making may face look square/round. I have had lipodissolve to reduce a double chin, which worked well. Now I am wondering if this could be an alternative to surgical buccal fat removal. Do you think this could work? Could the doctor inject the lipodissolve inside my mouth/cheeks since this is how they generally remove buccal fat? Many thanks for your responses

Lipodissolve

I have seen a few cases of severe lumping and indentations after lipodissolve treatments.  Frankly, I would not even use it on my dog.

Facial Fat Removal Without Surgery

Facial fat removal without surgery is not recommended. As other plastic surgeons have advised, injection lipolysis for subcutaneous fat has many potential concerns. Buccal fat reduction is a good option for chubby cheeks, cherub cheeks, or excess cheek fat. Speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.

Lipodissolve Reduce Buccal Fat in Cheeks

Anything is possible but Lipodissolve has not with stood the test of time. It is a failed treatment therapy. I would recommend more research on your part and seek opinions.
