I'm looking to have my cheek fat reduced but I don't want any invasive procedures, I wondered if cool sculpting by zeltiq could be performed on my cheeks.
Answer: Coolsculpting should not be used on the face.
Coolsculpting is not at this time designed for facial fat. You are probably referring to a procedure called "buccal fat excision." if you have much fat in the lower cheek region. If in fact you have jowling (sagging of the facial fat and skin) then you would benefit from a facelifting type of procedure.
A photos would be most helpful if you want further discussion.
However, Coolsculpting is not used in this region at this time.

Answer: CoolSculpting CoolSculpting is currently not approved for the cheek area. CoolSculpting is primarily used for small areas of subcutaneous fat that are stubborn to diet and exercise.

Answer: Coolsculpting for facial fat Coolsculpting is not designed for fat reduction on the cheeks nor is it possible. The only area of the face that can be treated with Coolsculpting is the submental fat or double chin. I do not believe there is a noninvasive way to achieve cheek fat reduction. Thank you for the question. Best, Dr, Paul Flashner

Answer: Micro lipo or buccal fat removal is your only option Hello and thanks for your question. It is not for the face only double chin. Micro lipo or buccal fat removal is your only option. Belkyra or similar is also not recommended here at time of writing unless it is the jowl region. Wishing you all the best, Dr Murray from Absolute Cosmetic Medicine

Answer: CoolSculpting for cheek fat No, coolsculpting is not used for removal of cheek or facial fat. There aren't any applicators small enough for the face nor are the studies for safety in this area established.

Answer: Cheek Fat Keeps You Looking Youthful While the CoolMini applicator from Zeltiq can be used to freeze and eliminate fat from smaller areas, such as double chins and bra bulges, it is not recommended to remove fat from the face. Generally, facial fat actually keeps you looking young, as full cheeks are associated with youth. If you are bothered by how heavy your cheeks are, you may need to have a jowl lift. The only way to get the answers you need is to meet with a board-certified dermatologist.
