Question

Hi all, since I’ve been 14 I’ve always had a “fat/round face.” To this day, I have to get haircuts with more hair on top, and shorter on sides to give the illusion that my face is slimmer. I workout and I’m in great physical shape, it’s just my face that’s round. I hate it. Will this procedure work for me? Will this help to make my face look slimmer and not as round? Or would this be a mistake ?

Be Careful with male buccal. You might be a candidate for it. However, I would do a conservative reduction since being too aggressive can feminize the face or make it look hollow

Thank you for your question.
Buccal fat removal is an ideal procedure for patients seeking to obtain a more angular facial shape. By taking out the fat pads a slight hollowness can be created, gently defining the lower border of your cheeks.
i think you would be a great candidate.

It doesn't seem that buccal fat removal would do much if anything for your face shape. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial surgery, is recommended. Good luck.
