“Chubby cheeks” are typically associated with a youthful, endearing appearance; however, many individuals who possess such facial features feel that they are never taken seriously or deemed attractive. A chiseled face not only creates an adult-like persona but is also seen as more aesthetically pleasing by society’s standards.
The buccal fat pad, which is the fatty tissue situated in the hollow of your cheeks, can be removed through a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure called buccal fat pad removal. This type of operation will help reshape your facial features and create more attractive and youthful-looking results.
