THE PROCEDURE
Chubby cheeks can be caused by genetics or ageing. An excessive number of fat cells in the cheek area can produce the appearance of a fuller, round face. Having excess body fat, and being physically large, can also exaggerate the appearance of chubby cheeks.
Chubby cheeks is a physical trait that can make a person with a slim physique seem bigger than they really are. It can give some the appearance of having overly large cheekbones, a double chin, and can even mimic the appearance of facial bloating. Concerns about the appearance of chubby cheeks can affect an individual’s self-confidence, influencing their social interactions. Reducing the appearance of chubby cheeks can be challenging, even with facial exercises, a balanced diet, and other non-surgical methods. Cheeks can be resistant to diet and exercise; therefore, surgical intervention may need to be taken. This can be done via Vaser Liposuction to remove the excessive fat cells in this area.
*Results may vary from patient to patient.

THE PROCEDURE
To perform the cheek liposuction with Vaser, your doctor will create a personalised treatment plan, designed to suit your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Since the cheek liposuction procedure is considered as less invasive than traditional methods of liposuction and surgical facelifts, patients will only require local anaesthetic and twilight sedation for the procedure to be performed.
After small incisions are made, facial Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to melt fat cells in the cheeks before they are suctioned and permanently removed. The innovative method melts fat and heats up collagen to assist in tightening the skin. Vaser cheek liposuction will take about 30 minutes to complete is associated with a quick recovery.
Chubby cheeks removal treatment prices vary depending on your overall situation and expectations. As a guide:
Depending on the shape of your face, facial muscles know as the masseters may be the problem. Like any other muscle in the body, when overused, it can grow bigger. Treating the masseters can be referred to as Jaw Line Contouring. This treatment just uses Muscle Relaxing Injections to achieve slimmed cheeks and a chiselled jawline. It is an effective treatment in relaxing the muscle that causes a larger face. This non-invasive treatment can reduce the muscle’s size to create a more slimmed appearance.
At Cosmos Aesthetics, we understand that considering the costs of the procedure is an important part of deciding whether or not to undergo surgery. To receive a personalised quote, we recommend booking a consultation at our Sydney, Gold Coast, Canberra or Adelaide locations. Cheek liposuction costs can depend on:
You may be able to treat other areas of the body at the same time as your cheek liposuction procedure. This will increase your total procedure costs, however, it can reduce overall costs when compared to undergoing multiple separate procedures. If combining procedures is an option that you are interested in, you should discuss this with your doctor during your consultation.

After your Vaser cheek liposuction procedure, you will be able to return straight home. You may feel some pain and discomfort, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You will be required to wear a compression garment to help ensure the best results. The compression garment will need to be worm full time for one week, and then just at night for two weeks. Recovery typically lasts a few days to a week, allowing you to get back to your usual daily activities. You will be given personalised recovery instructions during your consultation. In the meantime, uou can familiarise yourself with the following instructions and advice:
Vaser liposuction is associated with less risks and complications than traditional methods of liposuction, however, all surgeries will carry some risks. Closely monitor your health after your procedure and notify your doctor of any concerning symptoms as soon as you can. Make sure that you follow your preparation and recovery instructions as they are put in place to reduce the chance of these complications occurring. Potential side effects can include:
Your doctor will inform you of the risks and complications of the procedure in more detail during your consultation.
The high-tech Vaser technology is an advanced method of liposuction, designed to melt stubborn fat cells before the removal using ultrasound energy. This allows for a gentler removal, preventing surrounding tissue in the treated area from becoming damaged during the vacuum process.
The heat from the ultrasound energy will stimulate collagen fibres, causing the skin to retract and tighten. This contributes towards the toned and sculpted results of the procedure.
Suitable candidates for cheek liposuction can include those who:
While some changes may be noticeable immediately after the procedure, swelling can temporarily affect the visibility of the final results. Therefore, results can take several weeks to become noticeable, with full results developing at about six months after your procedure.
Cheek liposuction permanently removes the targeted fat cells. However, to ensure the permanency of your results, you will need to maintain your post-lipo weight, as significant weight gain after your procedure can cause the remaining fat cells in the treated area to expand. The tightened skin can be long-lasting, but the natural aging process will still continue to take place and can cause the re-appearance of sagging skin in the future.
Yes, cheek liposuction and body liposuction use the same Vaser method. One difference is that the chubby cheek removal procedure with liposuction will typically require less fat to be removed than liposuction procedures that are performed on the body.
You will be provided with personalised instructions on how to prepare for your cheek liposuction procedure. Generally, smokers will need to quit, and patients will need to avoid certain medications and supplements that can affect the healing process during recovery. To get organised before your procedure, you can prepare some healthy meals, purchase comfortable clothing, fill prescriptions, and ask somebody to pick you up from the hospital after your procedure.
Patients will be under twilight sedation and local anaesthesia. Therefore, there should be no pain during the procedure.
