This procedure can be used to reduce puffiness around the cheeks, enhance the jawline and create a more defined facial appearance. The overall goal is to transition a round face into an oval or inverted triangular shape. It can be paired with botox in the masseter muscle (the muscle attached to the jaw) or dermal fillers around the cheek bones to give even more of a dramatic change.

A small portion of tissue at the base of the fat pad is left in place to prevent scarring and a hollow appearance.
