I'm 21 years old and have struggled with chipmun cheeks my entire life. No matter what weight I am, my cheeks always looks big. I was wondering what might best address the chubbiness of my cheeks as well as the width of my face. I seem t have cheekbones that stick out too far and make me face wide.
