Many people seek treatment for overly full or round cheeks.

Full cheeks can persist despite weight loss, often due to naturally large buccal fat pads. This minimally invasive procedure removes excess buccal fat to create more defined facial contours and stronger cheekbone visibility.

Buccal fat removal is one of my most frequently performed procedures due to its effectiveness in enhancing facial definition with minimal downtime. Under local anesthesia, this precise procedure can significantly improve facial contours while maintaining natural-looking results.
