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?

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.

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 !
