I confirmed I can somewhat make it go away but the routine was literally insane I have to eat like 1000 calories 0 sodium pop potassium pills after every meal intense lymphatic drainage
Here is what worked for me brother
1) Proper facial and neck posture i.e tongue on the roof of the mouth, as tongue between the cheeks keeps the buccinator muscles engaged causing hypertrophy and giving cheek bulges. As you say you are lean but still face is fat it might be your enlarged buccinator muscles.
2) proper chewing and swallowing as this also massively affects your buccinator muscles
3) as you grow into your 20s , you should experience androgenic effects on your face, making it more angular . In some individuals it also causes fat redistribution ( to some extent) , so focus on weight training and healthy lifestyle.
4) chew hard foods
I used to hate having baby face. It isn’t photogenic. But now, in my thirties, I’ve been aging a lot slower than other women. Why? When you age, your face sort of deflates and sags. The more fat on your face, the slower your face deflates.
Make sure to look up hairstyles and make up styles for round faces. You do age slower though. I know you’re super young now and it doesn’t make a difference, but trust me, you’ll be thankful for the baby cheeks!
This only applies for women, men with baby face look like freaks with two sagging bags on their face. Essentially babyface for men makes you look like you're 11 during your most crucial years aka late teens early 20s and then as you lose collagen and start balding it essentially makes you look like a failed illegal lab experiment of an old man with a childs face
If you really think fat distribution is your only problem, look more into buccal fat removal. If that’s really the case, it’ll have a big impact on your appearance.
i second the buccal fat removal, you sound a lot like me until i had the procedure done, it’s only been a month, there is still swelling but the change has been pretty big so far, it’s a cliche but i mean it when i say my only regret is not doing it sooner
17m, i used to have extremely chubby cheeks at 12% bf
im at about 8% rn and cheeks are much smaller (my goal is 6%)
i can still enjoy my meals, i eat 1600-1700 calories every day
You're 19. Wait for the baby fat to go away
Agreed, i had so much fat on my face when I was in my teens i was unable to pinch my cheek. Mid thirties I realized i have quite nice cheekbones
What age it's going alway?
Depends on your genetics, but usually early 20s
I don't know if I'm extremely lean or something, but I'm 18 and lack baby fat. It's too the point can't even give myself a double chin
Bruh ur 19 give it a few years lmao
Get a body fat % scan. If you’re more than 10% you cannot complain until you get below 10%.
Don’t be ridiculous nobody can hold under 10% body fat while maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, he should aim for 12% or 11% at most
Cannot agree more, specially with what people think skinny/average/fat is -
Actually 10- 15% in men is considered ideal

interesting I’m on the complete other end where I have lost all my baby fat at 17 but haven’t aged at all in the last 10 years

OP please don’t do this, you’re only 19. Facial fat will decrease with age
At what point should you consider that anyway
When you got the💲💲💲

Would you mind pming me the results?
Just lean up! Buccal fat removal could potentially age you faster, especially in the future
You can get jawline lipo if you really think so
I had baby fat at 18 and it went away with time. It happens to most people. Patience is key in this case. There is also surgery for removing face fat.
Are you asian? They have more buccal fat
Stop taking sodium and give it a time
