Extraction of fat from the cheek
The weakening of the tissue of the cheek can create a cosmetic facial alteration. This moves outwards and many patients funnily describe it as” doctor I have a face like a squirrel”. Using a safe technique, with incisions which are made inside the mouth, therefore making them invisible, Dr. Valverde and Dr. Arpino, can reduce this oral fat alleviating the protrusion, creating a more natural appearance.
This way we reduce the roundness of the face, refining the facial profile and making it into more like an inverted triangle, a sign of beauty.
On many occasions, a jowl liposuction is performed together with this intervention to refine the facial appearance even more.
