I'm seriously considering me a buccal fat reduction, I have a very round face and big cheeks, but I do not want that in a while my face may look old and fallen... I'm 19 years/female, what should I do??

Answer: Buccal fat pad reduction selection Thanks for your question. I find buccal fat pad reduction to be a great procedure in the properly selected patient. Fullness in the lower cheeks or "chipmunk cheeks" can be treated this way. Liposuction or skin tightening technologies will not be the right choice when buccal fullness is apparent. The buccal fat pad sits deeper in the lower cheek area under muscle. This is different from skin fat that can be liposuctioned. Proper diagnosis is important to understand how to treat. Also, this fat pad may get smaller when we are elderly possibly giving a hollow look in this area. Performed properly in the right patient buccal fat reduction is easily performed and gives a slimmer lower face that is difficult to achiever otherwise. Careful selection and counseling are key. Results evolve nicely over a period of weeks to months. You are on the young side and your fat may recede in your later twenties. Please talk to an board certified surgeon experienced in buccal fat reduction to see if you are a candidate.

Answer: Buccal fat pad removal It's hard to tell from your picture because you are smiling. Although I am a fan of conservative buccal fat pad removal, you are too young and beautiful to be messing with your face at this time. XO

Answer: Buccal fat pad removal Hi. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the buccal fat pad removal procedure. I think the results are under-whelming.Besides, the roundness of your face will tend to go away on its on, with the passage of time. I would leave it alone.
