A round, full cheek may take away from an aesthetically pleasing facial silhouette. The hereditary condition of plump, lower cheeks- also known as “chip monk cheeks” or a “baby face”- is comprised of excess Buccal Fat and cannot be remedied through diet or exercise. Puffiness or heaviness in the cheek area can mask the contours of a beautiful upper cheekbone and lower jawbone. Buccal fat is the fat pad that is found in the cheek area and extends up to the skull. This procedure is designed to remove the actual fat pads found in the cheek area resulting in a slimmer, more contoured upper cheekbone and lower jawline.
