Large fat pats are often a genetic feature and can&rsquo;t be reduced through diet or exercise. The goal of removing them is to create a more sculpted facial contour.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-neck-smart-lipo\">What is neck Smart Lipo?<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/surgical\/smart-lipo\">Smart Lipo<\/a> is a laser liposuction procedure that uses heat energy to liquify stubborn fat pockets, making it easier to suction the fat out through a tiny incision. The heat also triggers elastin and collagen production and can have a skin-tightening effect. Liposuction is often done in conjunction with buccal fat removal, to enhance the sculpted look of the face.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-i-got-the-surgeries\">Why I got the surgeries<\/h2><p>I&rsquo;ve always been insecure about smiling in photos. Genetically, my family has fuller cheeks, and while that&rsquo;s a look that some people love, it&rsquo;s not what I personally like. I felt like my fuller cheeks gave my face a round appearance, and I always hated having any shadow or semblance of a double chin. I&rsquo;m also more than six feet tall, so I feel like everyone is looking <em>up <\/em>at me from a nonoptimal angle.&nbsp;<\/p><p>I&rsquo;ve used fillers before, and I truly love them. They&rsquo;re great at sculpting the jaw and giving projection to the chin so that the submental fat is less noticeable. But there&rsquo;s only so much they can do. As their name suggests, they really can only <em>fill<\/em>, or build out, certain areas of the face. I wanted something that would get rid of the roundness in my cheeks as well as the fat under my chin.<\/p><div id=\"doctorCTA_shortcode\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><div style=\"color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);margin-bottom:10px;\"><small>Interested in buccal fat removal?<\/small><\/div><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/drsearch?keyword=buccal+fat+removal\" style=\"padding: 15px;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 1.75rem;width: 300px;max-width: 100%;\">Find Doctors Near You<\/a><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-buccal-fat-removal-and-chin-liposuction-were-like\">What buccal fat removal and chin liposuction were like<\/h2><p>Before the procedures, Dr. Sterry had me take two Xanax, since I&rsquo;d be fully awake for both the buccal fat removal and chin lipo. A nurse injected me with an antibiotic, to prevent any infection during the procedure. Once I was fully numb, my chin was up first. Dr. Sterry made two tiny holes behind each ear where he injected tumescent fluid, a saline solution with lidocaine for numbing and epinephrine to prevent bleeding.<\/p><p>Then he made a small incision under my chin and inserted a cannula into the opening, which essentially sucked out the fat from under my chin. It didn&rsquo;t hurt&mdash;it felt similar to the slightly uncomfortable pressure you feel when you&rsquo;re getting dental work done. I knew something was being done, but I was totally fine, and because of the saline solution, there was no blood or mess.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Next was the buccal fat removal. Dr. Sterry went through the inside of my mouth and made a small incision in each cheek from where he could pull out each buccal fat pad. There was slight discomfort, because my buccal pads were being stubborn and not coming out as easily as expected, according to Dr. Sterry. The entire time, Dr. Sterry checked with me to make sure I wasn&rsquo;t in pain&mdash;and that no nerves were hit during the procedure.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Thanks to the Xanax, the procedures felt like they took between 10 and 15 minutes each, but because my buccal fat was being stubborn, the entire process actually took an hour and 20 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p><p>After both procedures were done, Dr. Sterry put a compression garment around my face, to keep everything tight and promote proper tissue healing. I was told to wear it all day and night for the first four days.&nbsp;<\/p><center><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Cur9KQCrx4E\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
