What are the risks to this procedure??? I had a chin implant very unhappy very little minor results and will definitely get a bigger implant in the future.. I really want a jawline and my cheeks seem to dominate my face. Id like lipo on sides of my face and cheeks ...

Answer: Is cheek liposuction dangerous? The short answer is potentially yes. Buccal fat pad removal which is done from inside the mouth, has the potential to damage the facial nerve as does superficial liposuction in the cheek area. The facial nerve works all the expressive muscles in your face. As others have said it would be unusual for liposuction of subcutaneous fat above the jawline to be a good choice.

Answer: Rarely Does One Do Cheek Liposuction Rarely does cheek fat that responds well to liposuction. Instead, there is often fat - buccal fat - at a deeper layer that can give full cheeks and that responds well to surgical removal. Removing this will reduce cheek fullness, but may not give you the jawline definition that you want. Visit with a plastic surgeon to sort this out.
