Buccal Fat Pad Removal in Indiana & Kentucky
A structured and contoured face is often associated with beauty. High cheekbones and a defining jawline are a look that both men and women desire. However, individuals that have enlarged or excess cheek fat can appear overweight, even when they are not. This can cause cheeks that look chubby or disproportionate compared to the rest of the body and distract from your natural beauty. Larger buccal fat pads can cause this.
Buccal fat is located inside the cheeks between the nostril and the corner of the mouth. If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your cheeks, there is a simple solution that may benefit you. With a Buccal Fat Pad Removal, you can achieve the contoured and structured look you desire.
