Chubby Cheeks, Hypertrophied Mandible, Had Gutka, Smoking Addiction. Cause And Cure?
i feel i developed i chubby cheeks and hypertrophied mandible when i ate gutka for three months as an alternative, when i quit smoking . After 3 months of 1 or 2 small packs a day i finally quit gutka. I am very unhappy with my chubby square face . My question is, is it because of quitting smoke or eating gutka. how can i get rid of it, as i was not like that before. Its been 5 years since then, but no change and still chubby and square/.....what can i do now???

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Chubby cheeks are not due to eating gutkha. It can be corrected surgically. Cheek liposuction aims to make the cheeks smaller and more contoured by removing the buccal fat. Usually completed within one hour, the surgery is performed by creating an incision between the cheeks and gums, forcing the buccal fat to come out through the incision, and then closing the incision.
Hope this helps
