Indian/Asian rabbit cheeks problem

Question

Hi, Male, 40 years. Body fat: 12.5%. I apologize for the vague question, but I have observed that males from India/Asia typically have this bugs bunny cheeks which might look great on a woman but looks very offputting on males. You can simply google "average Indian male smiling" and seeing a few pics you will spot that pattern. I would like to say that Buccal fat removal will solve the problem. But I think that procedure removes fat from lower cheek region, but not the cheekbones.

You are correct. Typically, males from Asia or India often have large cheeks or chubby cheeks that are genetically determined. This is often due to enlarged buccal fat pads. Therefore, buccal fat removal, which removes this pocket of fat, can help achieve a thinner face and resolve the issue of chubby cheeks. After the procedure, the chubby appearance often associated with an Indian smile is corrected.

I hope this helps!
