Will buccal fat removal help me achieve contoured lines under my cheeks?

Buccal fat pad reduction is one treatment to achieve better facial slimming. Other options include enhancing and highlighting the cheekbones with fillers or implants. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without a physical examination. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

A buccal fat removal procedure can provide slimming in the lower face, in the lower anterior cheek region specifically. It can also help create more definition in the lower face, in terms what you mean depending on the overall bone and underlying tissue structure of the face. The facial anatomy is important when it comes to creating that effect. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Hi @MKitea:
Thanks for the question and sharing the images. 
Yes, removal of buccal fat pad will naturally produce the desirable contour of higher appearing cheek bones and a gentle concavity of the cheek. Similar to what you may try to achieve with make-up.
This is one of my favorite facial contouring procedures which creates a slimming look and reduces the appearance of chubby cheeks or “chipmunk cheeks” in the lower part of the face. This quick surgery can enhance the appearance of high cheek bones and give a more sculpted and chiseled facial look. Best of all, buccal fat pad removal is a permanent procedure and the buccal fat does not come back.
Buccal Fat Pad Removal is a safe short one hour procedure that can be performed in the office with just local anesthetic like novocaine or under general anesthesia for patients who prefer it. As with any surgical procedure there are risks such as (pain, bleeding, infection, mild asymmetry, temporary numbness and others) but the chances of any major complication is LOW as long as your surgeon is well-trained. 
Best of luck,
