Am I a candidate for buccal fat removal? (Photo)

Question

I am about 40 pounds above my ideal weight but i am having rhinoplasty next month and am considering doing buccal fat removal at the same time. I really like my cheekbones and would like to accentuate them a bit more.

I would highly recommend buccal fat removal for you. Removing the fat pad in your lower cheek will give the bottom part of your face a narrower shape and emphasize your cheekbones and jawline.

It seems you are a suitable candidate for Buccal Fat Pad Removal. I perform Buccal Fat Pad Removal to enhance my patient's facial features and create a more defined contour. Buccal Fat Pad Removal is a permanent procedure, and the adipose tissues do not have the potential for regrowth, making it unaffected by weight gain. This results in a lasting improvement.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Based on your photos, you are not a candidate for a buccal fat removal. I would suggest fillers like Renuva to accentuate your cheekbones.

Best of luck !

William Portuese, MD · Answer

From the limited photographs, it does not appear that you're even a candidate for a buccal fat pad removal. You should lose the 40 pounds of weight first, and then reevaluate. Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your specialist very wisely based on extensive experience producing natural results. Study your prospective surgeon's rhinoplasty photo gallery, which should be extensive with lots of very natural results.
