How to get rid of fat facial cheeks?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

See below: Facial fat is related to overall body fat. The only way to eliminate fat from the body is to metabolize it (burn it off) or to have it surgically removed (liposuction). The appearance of a 'fat' face may be an indicator of another disorder (cushing's syndrome) if the overall body fat level is within normal limits. An md can evaluate this with lab tests.

Fat Cheeks: The best option is to see a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to see what options are available for you. There are multiple options including weight loss, liposuction or facelift surgery.

Lose weight: Liposuction is not recommended for the face because almost always leaves you with surface irregularities.
