Unfortunately, there are no exercises to help with removing lip or cheek fat directly. We have fat all over the body, and fat serves a vital role, the primary purpose of which is for the storage of energy. As we consume that energy through exercise, fat cells will shrink. Any sort of exercise that is going to burn fat may help with slimming the cheeks. Some people, however, cannot seem to lose stubborn facial fat no matter how lean they get, even when they are at or below their ideal body weight. In these cases, this is where liposuction becomes necessary. Some people turn to Kybella to help melt away fat, but I have found this to be ineffective, expensive, and associated with prolonged swelling that exceeds what many people experience with liposuction in the right hands. The cheeks and neck areas can generally be contoured with liposuction, but I have not seen anyone treat or personally treated a patient for lip fulness using liposuction. Not only is a big part of the lip volume composed of tissues other than fat, such as muscle, but you would have a significantly greater risk of nerve injury attempting liposuction in this area. I hope this has been helpful, and good luck to you.
