How to Change a Round Face? Options for Narrowing Cheeks? (photo)

Hi r.t,

Thank you for sharing your photographs.

Buccal fat pad removal will achieve the Ogee curve that will provide you with a slim face and narrower cheeks.

Yet, this procedure is of a delicate nature and is best performed by an extensively experienced surgeon who will preserve the beauty of your natural facial traits and enhance them.

I encourage you to seek a consultation with a well experienced surgeon who will help guide you to make a strong decision that will fit your goals.

 

Best wishes to you.

Dr. Sajjadian

Patients with round face who would like to make the sides of my face more straight and shaplier could benefit from a plastic surgery procedure called buccal fat removal.Buccal fat removal as its name says removes the buccal fat pads ( pockets of fat int he lower cheeks that cause the chipmunk cheeks). This makes the face thinner, more chiseled and V shaped in patient candidates. The video below helps to understand who could be a candidate for buccal fat removal.

Based on your photos, you seem like you can be a suitable candidate for a buccal fat removal procedure. A buccal fat removal procedure targets the lower anterior cheek area. It can provide slimming there and help create more definition. Botox to the masseter muscles can also provide slimming in the lower face. It is 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

When a patient has a full and round face and despite weight loss the fullness persist or if the patient is in his normal weight and the chipmunk faces has stayed all the time, a bichectomy or buccal fat pad removal is useful. It´s true that with aging the buccal fat pad tends to diminish in volume do to atrophy, but if the volume is excessive a bichectomy will not hollow the cheek overtime. Many patients are happy with the results, a proper selection is a very important manner. Usually the procedure takes less than 30 min and you can go homethe same day. You'll be able to go back to work on the 3rd day post-op but 1 week off would be more comfortable. Best regards

Based on your photos it appears that you would be a good candidate for buccal fat removal and Botox to the masseter, but an in person examination would be essential
