Question

Female, 5’5, 130pds 33 years old Hey, I’m considering Buccal fat removal, i notice a lot of people mentioning it can make someone look older since the lower cheek fat holds up the upper cheek fat and i have weak cheek bones (from what I believe). So yea, just wanted to know if I’m a good candidate or if there’s something else I can do to slim my cheeks up to be more snatched and contour. I heard of Morpheus but I’ve heard it won’t give me the results I want. Just want to look like I lost weight

The frontal photo shows a lack of an Ogee curve due to the fullness of your face and cheek. The fat that is removed with buccal fat reduction will create a slimmer face and provide more definition of the Ogee curve. I recommend buccal fat pad reduction to highlight the cheek and provide better definition.

Michelle Zweifler, MD · Answer

Buccal fat removal addresses the excess buccal fat in the lower cheek for a more sculpted look.  At times the cheek fullness is due to a hyperactive masseter muscle and Botox temporarily gives a slender appearance.
