Do I really need a bichectomy?

Big cheeks (chubby cheeks)  are frequently also caused by enlarged buccal fat pads. Buccal fat pads are commonly resistant to decrease in size with diet and excercise.Very often they run in families and never decrease in size. Buccal fat removal is the plastic surgery procedure that helps to decrease the size of the big cheeks, thus helping to achieve a more define chiseled facial look. The video below helps to understand who could be a candidate for buccal fat removal.

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. Without pictures, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate. 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.
