I've had a full roundish face my whole life because of my chubby cheeks and they also give the appearance of having a flat profile because it is mostly concentrated on the front portion of my jaw and cheeks. I'm 19 and have about 18% body fat so i doubt my fullness will diminish much with diet and exercise. I wanted to know if i would be a good candidate for buccal fat pad removal or if there are other options to achieve a more defined and heart shaped face.

Answer: Surgery for Chubby Cheeks? Buccal Fat Excision Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your picture, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of this procedure in your situation. I hope this helps.
