Chubby cheeks due to genetic predisposition

Chubby cheeks flatter no face. What looks cute on babies and toddlers appears bothersome at best on an adult. Even if you are very slim, chipmunk cheeks make your entire appearance look wider.

There are many different home remedies and exercises that are supposed to slim the face. However, these are often simply not effective. A wide face can be caused by excess weight on the one hand, but on the other hand it can very often be traced back to genetic predisposition. In this case it is due to an enlargement of the so-called buccal fat pad (Bichat's fat pad), which acts as the cheek's fat cushion.

We look forward to welcoming you to a detailed and non-binding consultation in a relaxed atmosphere. Best to arrange an appointment right away!
