< Cheek Reduction Overview

While well-developed cheekbones with good forward projection are highly valued by those of European descent, some people of Asian descent born with particularly full faces prefer a slimmer appearance from both front and profile views.

Prominent cheekbones make the uppermost mid-face wider, while overly ample cheek fat can thicken the lower portion of the mid-face.

Two surgical approaches can be employed to decrease cheek size: bone reduction and buccal fat removal.
