Chubby cheeks are a characteristic associated with youth. So it is no surprise that over the last few years the number of cheek implants and buccal fat injections have increased. As you grow older the pockets of fat in your face may drain away. Many people try to regain the fat in their cheeks to retain their youthful appearance. This may be accomplished through the help of a cosmetic surgeon. There are no ways to naturally fatten the cheeks without effecting other parts of the body.
Step 1
Consult with your physician. Not all people are healthy enough to undergo even the simplest surgical procedure. Consult with your physician to see if you are healthy enough for minimally invasive surgery or find out how you can become healthy enough.
Step 2
Find a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgical procedure like any procedure must be conducted by a qualified cosmetic surgeon to minimize the risk of complications, disfigurement and lasting results.
Step 3
Undergo the procedure. The procedure is conducted in two portions. The first is the removal of fat from one portion of your body. The fat is usually removed from your "love handles." Then the fat is injected into the required areas of your face. This procedure is usually performed while using local anesthetics.
Step 4
Give yourself time to rest. This procedure rarely requires a hospital stay but does require some rest. Swelling and facial discomfort usually occur in the initial days following the procedure. Cosmetic products should be avoided during the first three to four days following the procedure. Full recovery is usually achieved in two weeks.
