Answer: Buccal Fat Removal for Facial Sculpting Treatment of ‘chubby cheeks’ cannot be achieved alone with buccal fat pad removal; a fact that I encounter time and time again when seeing patients in consultation for lower facial sculpting. My approach is to use a combined protocol that redefines aesthetic contours of the face. This includes the following:

Answer: Am I good a good candidate for buccal fat pad reduction surgery?= you could but cheek bones might need to be enhanced Patients with fullness of the lower anterior cheeks that are interested in achieving a more defined facial appearance are usually candidates for buccal fat removal. Buccal fat removal by removing the fullness of the lower anterior cheeks, helps to achieve a more sculpted look in patients with high prominent cheek bones (see video below)When patients have not good cheek bones, the results of the buccal fat removal are sub-optimal. Therefore, in my practice I always evaluate the patient's cheekbones. If they are weak, I highly recommend the patient to enhance them before or at the time of the procedure with soft tissue fillers like voluma. This allows to instantly enhance the cheekbones, with minimal down time. The duration of the fillers I use ( voluma) is up to 2 years.

Answer: Chin and jawline sculpting You have many options. It is all about fat (or volume) in the right places. In addition to facial cosmetic surgery I do feminization procedures in the transgender population and it applies to all sexes and orientations really. The key is Hot is HOT! Buccal fat removal and/or manipulation can be a great and transformational procedure in the right patient. Oftentimes fat transfer or filler injection in conjunction with this procedure is able to give a more “ideal” heart shaped face. This can make a significant difference in patients as a combo. We are able to create shadows and sharpness where you want it. It may seem counterintuitive to add fat when you say your problem is chubby cheeks but what we do is add volume to the highest and most projected point of the cheek bone and taper it to the lower face. This helps to create a shadow just under the malar area. This is especially helpful in thin patients and in combination with buccal fat pad removal is a powerful maneuver. Liposuction of the jawline and sculpting is also helpful in some patients. It really depends on your specific anatomy. All of this can be done in clinic with some calming medications and local anesthesia.

Answer: Buccal fat reduction Thank you for your pictures and your question! Certainly you can be a little more aggressive (or conservative) on one side vs the other. I usually go over the fine asymmetries with patients just to ensure that we approximate symmetry as much as possible. In your frontal picture it appears as though there may be some masseter issues as well that would need to be addressed down the line with some botox/disport - again it'd be best to examine you in order to get a better idea of just how much improvement we can expect to see. Once you get a good consultation, then you can decide what is what is best for you. I hope some of this helps! Best of luck.
