People sometimes think they have swollen areas around the eyebrows, ears, cheeks, and under-eye area and may wonder if these need surgical correction. These areas are parts of the midface that are crucial for maintaining a youthful appearance. Often, the issue lies in an adjacent area: the lower face. Fullness in the lower anterior face can make the face appear overly full or swollen, reducing its attractiveness. This fullness is usually due to enlarged buccal fat pads, which are specific pockets of fat that give the face a rounder, chubbier look.
