Is there any way to slim down fat cheeks?

Donna1937Jul 2, 2015
My cheeks are extremely fat and chipmunk like. Some days i think they're cute, and other days i loathe them. Is there any way to slim them down a little? Not anything as drastic as buccal fat removal, but something subtle. I have briefly tried facial excersizes, but they dont really work do they? Thank you doctors in advance :)

Smile lines can be improved with fillers primarily, but are improved with collagen stimulation long term with devices like Thermage or Venus.  Best. Dr. Emer.
