Hello, I have always had a round face. I am wondering what would help most to make my face more oval. Thanks port
Dr. Mesas Answered: Patients with round faces, secondary to chubby cheeks, that also have great prominent high cheek bones could benefit from buccal fat removal to achieve a thinner more sculpted, chiseled, v-shape facial look. Buccal fat removal is routinely performed in my practice under local anesthesia as an office outpatient procedure. The downtime is usually minimal and the results are long lasting

Thinking there may be asymmetry? I've gotten suggestions of buccal fat removal (but worried this removes some youthful fat?) and cheek injections with Voluma (interesting but concerned this might make my face rounder?). I'd like a more longer V shape and a contoured look. less surgery is better. Are one of those two procedures my best option? Is there a way to contour my and elongate my chin/jaw line and is that even recommended in comparison? I have had a chin implant in the past as you can maybe see from the profile view. Dr. Mesas Answered:
Young patients that are unhappy with the lower have of the face ( who have weak cheek bones and chubby cheeks) could potentially benefit from two Plastic surgery procedures: Buccal fat removal and cheek bone augmentation with fillers.IF in a young patient there is mild sogginess of the skin in the lower face, that is an indication that the cheek bones are weak. Therefore they should be enhanced with ether fillers like voluma or cheek implants. If a young patient has chubby cheeks that get works while smiling, then buccal fat removal would address that fullness. When combined with cheek bone augmentation it helps to achieve a V shape chiseled face. I have recently been grinding my teeth a lot and notice a clicking sound of my right jaw when I yawn. I question whether I’ve developed TMJ as my cheeks feel sore. In pictures I have recently noticed my cheeks look large. Is this fat or masseter hypertrophy? what are the treatment recommendations? Dr. Mesas Answered: Fullness of the lower cheeks are caused by either enlarged buccal fat pads ( most common cause) or enlarged masseter muscles ( less common).
Chubbiness caused by enlarged buccal fat pads is located in the ANTERIOR lower cheeks. Chubbiness caused by enlarged (hypertrophic) masseter muscles is located in the POSTERIOR lower cheek. Treatment of the fillies of these tow distinct lower cheek areas is different. The enlarged anterior lower cheek is usually treated with buccal fat removal. The enlarged posterior lower cheek is usually treated with serial injections of Botox. I'M NOT SURE BUT I THINK THAT I NEED TO DO BUCCAL FAT REMOVE OP.AM I RIGHT?

John Mesa, MD Buccal Fat Removal Specialist Plastic Surgeon Buccal fat removal is a procedure that improves the fullness of the anterior lower cheeks. If a patient is concern of fullness on that area, a patient could be a potential proper candidate for the procedure. I am contemplating cheek implants to help with mid face deficiency which has caused under eye bags and I am just generally unhappy with the lack of structure in my face. Would buccal removal enhance the effect of the cheek implants or fillers? DR. MESA'S ANSWER:
Buccal fat removal will in deed enhance the effects of cheek augmentation with fillers or cheek implants. By removing the fullness of the lower anterior cheeks, buccal fat removal helps to achieve a more defined, V shaped, chiseled face in patients with good cheek bones or patients with weak cheek bones that undergo enhancement with fillers or implants John Mesa, MD Harvard Trained and Triple Fellowship Trained Board Certified Colombian Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon Buccal Fat Removal Specialist New York City - New Jersey ww.drmesa.com NYC: (212) 203 7745 NJ: (973) 486-4862 Patient question: I don't think fillers would be a good idea because I seems as though they would only make my cheek area look bigger but I'm that's just a guess.

I've had the kind of chipmunk look my whole life and I really dislike it. I'm already very fit and pretty lean & my face never seems to change much. It's definitely my lower cheek area right around the jawline that I'm most displeased with. Ideally I'd like to achieve a more angular lower face. ANSWER:
Buccal fat removal is a plastic surgery procedure that removes the fullness of the anterior lower cheeks ( chipmunk cheeks) thus making a round face to become more slimmer ( V-shape like). Hoever, buccal fat removal is not the only solution not address a chipmunk face look. In certain patients with small chin, a chin augmentation with either soft tissue fillers like voluma or chin implant is also indicated to balance the face and give a more angular look. Additionally, the projection of the cheek bones have to be analyzed and enhanced if necessary ( if cheek bones are not prominent). Patients interested in addressing a "chipmunk face look" should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face to determine if buccal fat removal alone or with other procedures are an option for their physical findings.
