Okay is There a Cream I Can Just Use in Reducing Chubby Cheeks?

Question

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

There is no cream or any other product that you could place on the skin of your cheeks to reduce chubby cheeks.  This issue with chubby cheeks is not the skin, but the tissue below the skin and anything you place on top of the skin will not penetrate deep enough to have any effect.

Lawrence Kass, MD · Answer

I doubt that there is any doctor on this forum who would prescribe a cream that can reduce your chubby cheeks.  There may be surgical options available.

Steven J. Pearlman, MD, FACS · Answer

There are no creams or topical solutions that can reduce the size of your cheeks. "Chubby" cheeks are often due to large fat pads in the mid-cheeks called buccal fat pads. These can be removed if your cheeks are too full. You have to be careful though, as we age the mid-face gets narrower and there is often significant loss of facial fat. So, many surgeons are reluctant to perform buccal fat reduction in patients much younger than their late 20's.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

While there isn't a cream that will slim down your cheeks, a quick in-office procedure can be done to remove the fat there.  This can be done under local anesthesia so you are awake but not feeling any pain.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Sadly, no.  That type of fat reducing topical cream is an urban myth and does not currently exist.  Micro-liposuction would be required to remove the excess fat from the face.
