Can I Get A Sculpted Cheek Look?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Can I get better cheek and neck definition?

A:One of the major limiting factors in achieving cheek definition is the thickness of a patient’s skin and underlying soft tissues…which in your face as you know has very thick skin. While I am certain the buccal lipectomy has provided some benefit it is not a complete cheek defatting procedure. But the question is not whether perioral liposuction and buccinator myectomy would provide further benefit it is given with thicker soft tissues how much further improvement will occur.

Conversely the submentoplasty is a bit different in that it has never been treated and would definitely provide further cervicomental profile improvements to the previous sliding genioplasty result.
