At What Age Do Chubby Cheeks Go Away?

Published in Facial aging 1 min read

Chubby cheeks typically start to diminish in your thirties, as facial fat pads begin to shrink.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

The reduction of facial fat is a gradual process, and the specific age when someone notices their chubby cheeks disappearing can vary significantly depending on genetics, lifestyle, and overall body fat percentage. Different fat pads in the face shrink at different times.

  • Early Twenties: The fat pads under the eyes are typically the first to diminish.
  • Thirties: Fat loss begins in the temples and parts of the cheeks, which can lead to a less rounded appearance.
  • Superficial Fat: Superficial fat in the cheeks, which is primarily responsible for "chubby cheeks," tends to be more persistent and may not disappear without significant weight loss.

Therefore, while subtle changes might be noticeable earlier, a more significant reduction in chubby cheeks is usually observed in the thirties. Keep in mind that this is a general guideline, and individual experiences may vary.
