Chubby or persistently round cheeks refer to fullness in the lower cheek area that does not respond to diet or exercise.

Buccal fat pad size is largely genetic and remains stable throughout life. Patients with full buccal fat often desire more defined cheekbones and a slimmer lower face.

Dr. Kim personally performs buccal fat removal through small intraoral incisions, leaving no external scars. The procedure carves out a more sculpted facial contour while preserving age-appropriate volume.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Buccal Fat Removal is right for you.
