Chubby cheeks are genetically determined and usually run in the family. Chubby cheeks are usually resistant to decrease in size with diet and exercise. Buccal fat removal is the plastic surgery procedure what helps to reduce the size of the chubby cheeks, In patient candidates with good prominent cheek bones it could help to achieve a heart shaped face. If the patient doest have prominent cheek ones, it its necessary to enhance the cheek bones ( usually with fillers) before or at the same time of buccal fat removal.
Patients interested in chubby cheek correction should make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon specialist in buccal fat removal.

Patients with chubby cheeks and/or a "bottom heavy" face that a desire a more heart shaped face often like the results of a buccal lipectomy.  A buccal lipectomy can be combined with facial fat grafting and/or facial fillers to enhance the upper face and cheeks in order to create a more dramatic facial reshaping result.
