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

Question

It's not as noticeable in person but I feel my lower face appears heavy in photos. I love the look of Bella Hadid's chiseled lower face and was wondering if the procedure would make me look more defined. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from Buccal fat removal, this is a good option to contour the face. Buccal fat excision can be done comfortably, awake, under local anesthesia in under an hour. The results are long lasting and the recover is quick. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

A buccal fat removal procedure can provide slimming in the lower face, in the lower anterior cheek region specifically. It can also help create more definition in the lower face depending on the overall bone and underlying tissue structure of the face. It is possible that you can be a suitable candidate for this procedure. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.
