That is the move people do for buccal fat pad removal and or sculpting. The degree of narrowing is not typically that significant. It is a great procedure and can really help contour the lower face and in the right hands, done safely it is a beautiful procedure.   One thing I do that is unique is additionally tightening the mucosa and buccinator muscle.  The people who really want contour it's a great move. It also helps to prevent jowling!

Hope this is helpful.
