Hi, I'm in my early 20s, fit and work out regularly at the gym, with 15% body fat. But I have chubby cheeks and I definitely have them due to genetics. I would like to have a more masculine and slimmer looking face. I would like to ask if I'm a good candidate for buccal fat reduction. Thanks

Answer: Buccal fat removal Great question! Depending on your goals, a buccal lipectomy can help improve your facial shape by shrinking down the lower cheek region. By doing this, the jawline and the cheeks become more defined and contoured. Another treatment to think about is Botox to the posterior jawline as this will also help slim the face from a more squared to a more oval appearance on the frontal views. However, it is always best to have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so that your goals are reviewed and the best treatment recommended. Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Facial Slimming You would be a good candidate for a combined buccal lipectomy and perioral liposuction procedure. While this can be effective in the right patient it all depends on what type of facial slimming result you are expecting to achieve.
