I'm a slim girl with chubby cheeks? What can I do to achieve a more defined look? (photos)

Question

I am fairly slim girl but all my weight seems to go to my cheeks. What would you recommend to give my face a more slim or defined look? liposuction to the face? I was also thinking of getting fillers on my chin and cheek bones to define my face a bit more but don't want to get it done if it will look silly. Advice would be great! :)

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You could consider buccal fat excision. The buccal fat is a pocket of fat in the cheek area that can be removed to create a more sculpted look. You can replicate the potential look by drawing your cheeks into the mouth with a little suction. The procedure involves making an incision on the inside of the cheek, inside the mouth. A half-dollar sized piece of buccal fat is teased out through the incison, cauterized, and removed.

This is a common request from patients.  Removing some of the buccal fat from your cheeks can give a slimmer facial appearance.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with
 achieving the results you seek.  3-dimensional computer imaging can 
help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and help you 
communicate with your surgeon.
