I'm 27, have lost nearly 90 pounds within a short space of time and whereas my cheeks aren't as big as they used to be, my face remains chubby. My mum, pictured here in her youth, has an enviable jawline and facial structure similar to that of Cillian Murphy! I'm guessing it will take more than just a buccal fat removal procedure to achieve her sharp edges, but is buccal fat removal a good place to start? Thank you!

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal from the cheeks in Los Angeles 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: Buccal Fat Pad Removal Non-surgical Muscle-Fascia Tightening Venus Legacy or Venus Viva Ultherapy Submental Liposuction or Coolsculpting The combined approach is ideal. Buccal fat pad removal is a exceptional procedure that can remove excess fat from the cheek pads. Using an intraoral approach, a small incision is carried through the mucosa to remove a small fat pad within the cheek. Closure of the incisions is minimal with an absorbable suture and patients will experience some swelling post-operatively. We use SwellX tablets post treatment. Once healed, the contour of the cheek is improved and we begin Non-invasive tissue tightening to further enhance results. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Will buccal fat removal help achieve my mother's chiselled look?: if alone, not necessarily Buccal fat removal allows to have a chiseled look in patients with chubby cheeks when they do have good cheek bones. Very often, people have different bone structure to the patients ( eg. mother with prominent high cheek bones and daughter with weak cheek bones). The chiseled look after buccal fat removal depends on the cheek bones. Therefore is someone with chubby cheeks is interested in buccal fat removal, he or she should enhance their cheek bones before the procedure usually with soft tissue filler (eg. Voluma hyaluronic acid)
