I’m 23 years old, Chinese, 5’4 and 125 pounds. I’ve always had chubby cheeks and they’re especially noticeable when I smile. I’m also considering chin lipo but not sure which would be more beneficial for me. I’m worried that the buccal fat removal will create a sunken look in my cheeks

Answer: Buccal fat removal in Asians This is a common complaint in the Asian population: Your chubby cheeks would be corrected more with buccal fat removal than chin liposuction. Chin liposuction addresses excess fat than you can pinch underneath your chin, right above your neck. It does not address excess chubby cheeks. The buccal fat removal would lessen your chubby cheeks just lateral to your smile. It does not remove from the cheek above your smile. In younger patients buccal fat removal is less likely to give you a sunken look to your cheek. This is also variable based on surgeon technique. A sunken look is more likely to happen with more elderly patients and with extreme weight loss after procedure.

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal Good Morning! Buccal fat removal can be a great option to create slimming of the face. The result is subtle and this needs to be emphasized. An incision is made within the inside of the cheek and the fat is removed. It's often described as the size of a walnut. The incision is closed with dissolvable stitches and the results start to appear at 3-5 weeks. It's relatively painless other than chewing discomfort for several days. This may accomplish what you're looking for. Seek consultation with a Facial Plastic Surgeon to learn more. Hope this helps!
