How to Reduce a Chubby Face?
I have been reading and it seems like buccal fat removal is generally not well regarded by most surgeons due to it's tendency to produce a hollowed cheek effect as the person ages. However, I inherited chubby cheeks from my mom and even though she is almost 50, she still has them. What are some other methods? I also inherited her large cheekbones (she is asian), which only makes my cheeks look more pronounced. Suggestions? What are some other ways to reduce chubby cheeks?

How to make face less chubby looking
You have a couple of options to decrease the chubbiness of the face and make it more aesthetic in appearance. I'm not a fan of buccal fat removal for the reasons you cited. You can shape the face by:
Micro-liposuction of the nasolabial folds, cheeks and lower face to create general thinning of the face
If the cheeks are to broad, they can be reduced using a nasal rasp placed through an intra-oral approach.

Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice. Options would range anywhere from liposuction to face lift. I would suggest going to your local plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
Good Luck.

I have performed this procedure over many years and am always very aware of the long-term effects re aging and other changes in facial features over time. You should consult with a PS in your area who has experience with this procedure.

The Merits Of Buccal Lipectomies Must Take in The Patient's Facial Shape and Fat Distribution
You have specifically addressed your chubby face as that of chubby cheeks. There is only one procedure that can help reduce that chubbiness and that is a buccal lipectomy with perioral mound liposuction. Buccal lipectomies get an unfair amount of criticism for having undesired long-term outcomes (gaunt face look) which is largely a result of on whom and how they are performed. In someone wiith a naturally fuller and round face, buccal lipectomies do not necessarily result in an eventual...
