Can cheek asymmetry be corrected with buccal fat removal? (photo)

Question

Hi, I've been struggling with facial fat asymmetry for quite a while, my right cheek has more fat than the left. I was wondering if this could be easily fixed with buccal fat removal?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Facial asymmetry is a common concern for many individuals. However, it's important to understand that buccal fat removal may not be the best solution for everyone.

Based on your picture, I believe that you are not a good candidate for the procedure. It would make you look gaunt. Facial Liposculpture would be a better alternative and in good hands, would help you achieve the results you want.

Of course, an « in person » exam is necessary.

Best of luck !

Thank you for your question and photo. You may benefit most from facial liposuction to remove excess fat and create a more symmetrical face shape. This procedure can bring your facial features into balance while attaining a more sculpted neck and jawline contour.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your concern with you and determine the best course of action.
