For chubby cheeks, liposuction is recommended along with square jaw reduction to make slimmer-looking face. Liposuction also has an effect of tightening the skin under chin after square jaw reduction. Fat obtained from liposuction is sometimes grafted into nasolabial folds (smile lines) or lips for even more youthful appearance.
