Question

I have a very straight smile which doesn’t lift but just widens it feels like my cheeks stop me from being able to smile properly. Would removable of the buccal fat help?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Buccal fat removal is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce fullness in the lower anterior face, which is often the main cause of chubby cheeks, a chubby smile, or a round, moon-shaped face. It's important to note that buccal fat removal does not affect the shape of the smile, as the smile's shape is determined by the positioning, length, and activity of the facial expression muscles. Therefore, buccal fat removal will not alter the shape of your smile.

I hope this helps!
