Chubby cheeks. Is it possible to get lipo on my cheeks? How much would it be?

Question

For my entire life I have had relitively chubby cheeks compared to my body. Is it possible to get lipo in my cheeks? And if so about how much would it be?

Yes you can do this but there is high risk of damaging nerves and blood vessels in the area.  Plus, there is a number of people who look larger now but later lose the volume and want it back. So my suggestion is to keep the volume now and go to a facial contouring expert to evaluate you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, the procedure that you are looking for is called Bichat Bags Surgery. Bichat Bags are pads of fat in your cheeks and along the sides of your face that give it the rounded appearance.  In Bichat fat pad resection I remove the fat pads that augment the lower cheeks. The incisions are minimal and inside the mouth.
