Buccal Fat Removal Is Not For Everyone
The buccal fat pad plays a minor role in facial contouring. Sitting just below the cheekbone, it adds some fullness to the submalar area. Its removal adds a slight thinning effect to the area under the cheek bones but it should not be perceived as having a major influence on thinning the face. It should be done as either part of the overall treatment approach to make one's face thinner and less full or as a complementary procedure to help highlight the cheekbones. For full round...
