Buccal Fat Removal: Q&A

Am I the Right Candidate for Buccal Fat Pad Removal Considering Asian Genetics?
I inherited my mother's genes (a dominant gene by observing her generation of seven siblings, who all evidently have enormous cheeks and higher than average cheekbones) of fat cheeks and high cheekbones. My father has a slim face and relatively non-observant cheekbones that my two other sisters inherited from him. I starved myself as a teen just to have a slim face, but as I gain the relative weight, I am more depressed as an adult with this face. I heard that these cheeks are good for aging.

Buccal fat removal.

Buccal Fat Pad and Asian Genetics
Dear Cypresshill,
Buccal fat pads will atrophy with aging and so if a patient has enough volume then aging will not be able to create a striking hollow face.

Better photos are needed

Buccal fat pad removal is discouraged in young patients
As we age the amount of fat in our face decreases causing a loss of volume and fullness. Buccal fat pad removal will only accelerate the aging process, which is why we do not recommend the procedure. Look at your grandparents and see how they become hollow in the buccal fat pad space over time. Chubby cheeks are a sign of youthfulness and it is in your best interest to leave them alone.
