Cheek fat reduction, also known as buccal fat removal, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the cheeks to create a more sculpted, defined facial appearance. It’s commonly done to reduce a round or chubby face and enhance the contour of the cheekbones and jawline.
Ideal for individuals with excess fat in the cheeks, often leading to a fuller face or “chipmunk cheeks.”
Not recommended for individuals with certain health conditions or those seeking excessive facial slimming.
Generally safe when performed by a skilled surgeon. Risks include infection, asymmetry, or changes in facial appearance if too much fat is removed.
Pros: Permanent results; enhances facial contours; minimal visible scarring.
Cons: Potential for uneven results; swelling and bruising; not suitable for those with thin faces.
Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with swelling subsiding in the first few days. Most people can resume normal activities within a week.
When performed by a skilled surgeon, the results will be subtle and natural, enhancing your facial structure without looking overdone.
Costs vary depending on the surgeon’s expertise and clinic location, but it typically ranges from moderate to mid-range.
