Keep gooey: No one wants a frankenstein scar even this close to halloween. During the day, keep the scratched area gooey with vasaline petroleum jelly. When you get home at night, put on a product called "scar-guard". If you live in a warm sunny place, you have to keep the area protected with a broad spectrum sun block (spf greater then 30).

How to get rid of cheek fats?Do any exercises work?

Exercise burns fat: Exercise will burn fat but in general, no type of exercise can selectively burn fat from only specific areas like just from your abdomen or cheeks. Specific exercises may however tone up the muscles in a specific area, and this may cause that area to appear more fit.

Dr. James Newman answered

Buccal Fat Rx: Excess cheek tissue is most common from the Buccal fat compartment which can be reduced under local anesthesia through a small incision in the back of the mouth. Chubby cheeks should be treated conservatively because as we age , fat loss from the deeper areas of the face appears and is often restored with fat grafting.
