Slim and refine your mid-face for an elegant, contoured look.
One common request the team at The Spiegel Center in Newton, Massachusetts, receives from Asian patients is to reduce the size of full cheeks. Many would like their face to appear less round and more angular.

Thick or chubby cheeks are a hallmark of childhood, but some people never lose the chipmunk-cheek look. Typically childhood fat diminishes in the face with age, but for some, the fat in their cheeks remains well into adulthood; this is largely genetic. Buccal fat is the padding of fat between the cheekbone and the jawline.
A large quantity of this fatty tissue causes protruding cheeks. It is not uncommon for those of Asian descent to have an abundance of buccal fat. The fat itself is contained in its own little pocket, which makes removing all or some of it a simple procedure.
Many patients worry that removing buccal fat will make their faces look old in their advanced years and give them a gaunt appearance.
