Do you have chubby cheeks and don't want them anymore? I'm not talking about your butt cheeks, but the ones on your face. I have to confess I have chubby cheeks and have always hated them, especially when I was younger. If you have chubby cheeks there's a few things you can do to get rid of them some drastic and some not so drastic.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1
    Work that face
     
    Work that face

    In case you didn't know there's no such thing as spot reduction, it's a myth. So, right off the bat you need to know you will have to lose overall body fat to get rid of chubby cheeks. This is good news, because if you do have chubby butt cheeks you'll lose some off them too!

    The first thing you need to do is facial exercises. These exercises will not take fat off, but will make your face look toner, firmer and younger. To learn how to do the right ones go to youtube and you will find videos of people doing facial exercises for chubby cheeks.

  2. Step 2
    Cardio
     
    Cardio

    While doing facial exercises will tone your chubby cheeks you still need to lose body fat. To do this you need to do some form of cardio and it's best to do one you enjoy so that you will do it. Whether it's cycling, running, swimming or dancing it works to burn fat. You will lose it faster if you build intensity as you go and not do a just get by effort.

  3. Step 3
    Healthy foods
     
    Healthy foods

    I hate to use the dirty four letter word 'diet'. However, it is important to have a healthy one if you plan to lose those chubby cheeks. I don't advise any particular diet, but to cut down on portions by having small doable goals. For example, if you have a goal of not eating junk food for 1 day this is a doable goal.

    On the other hand, if you have a goal of no junk food EVER this may not be so doable. See the difference?

  4. Step 4
    Liposuction
     
    Liposuction

    There's always the option of facial liposuction. Yes, this is drastic measures, but if you're desperate and can afford it, it may be the right choice for you. A cosmetic surgeon will be the one to decide if you're a good candidate for the procedure. The cost will be between $2500-$5000 depending how extensive the surgery.

    As you can see it's possible to get rid of chubby cheeks, but you have to be willing to do your part as far as diet and exercise is concerned. If you opt for surgery you're still the one who has to take steps to do that. It's all up to you, now what are you going to do?

Tips & Warnings
  • Watch salt intake
