Hi, I'm 38 and I'm really tired of people commenting on my cheeks. When I look at pictures from the neck up I look 20, 30, or more pounds larger than I am. I have a round face and I look like a number of family members. In fact, my sisters and I all look alike only I have the cheeks. I have put my time in waiting for my face to thin and it hasn't...I've only gotten better with my contouring and highlighting. What's the best course of action? I want to look natural.
Answer: I'm really tired of people commenting on my cheeks..What, if Anything, Should I Do About my Chubby Cheeks? Patients with significant fullness of the lower anterior cheeks (chubyy cheeks) are usually excellent candidates for buccal fat removal.

Answer: Buccal Fat Pad Removal for round face improvement When a patient has a full and round face and despite weight loss the fullness persist or if the patient is in his normal weight and the chipmunk faces has stayed all the time, a bichectomy or buccal fat pad removal is useful. It´s true that with aging the buccal fat pad tends to diminish in volume do to atrophy, but if the volume is excessive a bichectomy will not hollow the cheek overtime. Many patients are happy with the results, a proper selection is a very important manner. Usually the procedure takes less than 30 min and you can go homethe same day. You'll be able to go back to work on the 3rd day post-op but 1 week off would be more comfortable. Best regards

Answer: Fat in the right places I agree. You are thin and your face is more round. There are many reasons for this but speficially buccal fat removal and manipulation can be a great and transformational procedure in the right patient. Often times fat transfer 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. It may seem counterintuitive to add fat when you say your problem is chubby cheeks. What we do is add fat around the cheeks to the side of the highest and most projected point of the cheek bone and taper it to the lower face. This helps to camouflage overly chubby cheeks. This is especially helpful in thin women and in combination with buccal fat pad removal is a powerful maneuver. All of this can be done in clinic with some calming medications and local anesthesia.

Answer: Buccal Fat Removal for Chubby Cheeks Yes, you would benefit from Buccal Fat Removal and probably reduction of your masseters to reduce the chubbiness and give an improved V shape appearance. The masseter reduction is a subtle change that will really help slim out the back part of your lower face. See an expert.
