Facial fullness is a cornerstone of youthfulness; however, having too much volume, particularly in the midface-cheek area, can cause you to look heavier than you are. Whether you are trying to get rid of your childish “chipmunk cheeks” or sculpt a more angular and defined facial profile, buccal lipectomy or buccal fat removal can help. This procedure reduces the buccal fat pad in the cheeks to create a slimmer, more structured midface.
