The removal of cheek fat pads is a treatment that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The cheek fat pads are removed through a small incision in the oral mucosa, resulting in a better-shaped and more defined face. This emphasizes the cheekbones and jawline. The removal of cheek fat pads can also be combined with other procedures such as double chin liposuction.
