My face looks massive, I often get comments from people saying I have a “moon face” which really hurts my self esteem. I am very skinny and when I gain healthy weight my face goes even bigger. People often say to me that it thins out over time but my face is definitely getting bigger, I am starting to look like a chipmunk. I recently got facial fillers hoping it would help but if anything has made me look even bigger. I’m 21 so please could you reccomend me a good treatment or procedure.
Answer: Possibly a Buccal Fat Removal Procedure A buccal fat removal procedure can provide slimming in the lower face, in the lower anterior cheek region specifically. It can also help create more definition in the lower face depending on the overall bone and underlying tissue structure of the face. Based on your photos, it seems like you can be a good candidate for this procedure. 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

Answer: Buccal Fat Excision Candidate Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your pictures, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of these procedures in your situation.
