Chubby cheeks are cute when you are a kid, but as an adult, a rounded face is not always the look you want. Most people’s cheeks thin as they get older, bringing out their cheekbones and a more mature face. However, others may have cheeks that continue to create a “cute” appearance well into their twenties and thirties. A cheek reduction can help sculpt the face and bring out those cheekbones for a more mature, angular-shaped face.
The cheeks are an important component to the overall look of your face. Too little fat in your cheeks can make you look older, tired and gaunt. Too much fat can make your face look heavy and “cherub-like,” which may not be the appearance you prefer in your professional and social life. The right balance of fat creates a well-shaped face that shows the contours of your cheekbones while keeping a youthful softness. A cheek reduction can create that perfect balance for the mature face you desire.
Cheek Reduction Surgery
To reduce the fat content of the cheeks and bring out the bone structure of your face, a buccal fat reduction surgery can be completed. This facial plastic surgery usually involves a small incision placed inside the mouth to remove excess fat without leaving a visible scar. The results can eliminate full or chipmunk cheeks and bring out the cheekbones for a more svelte appearance to the face.
If you want to slim your face and highlight the angular shape of your bone structure, a cheek reduction surgery may be right for you. Contact an experienced facial plastic surgeon that offers cheek reduction surgery for a consultation to learn more.
