I am only 23 and have been reading about how this procedure is not recommended if you're young, but my family has a history of chubby cheeks that stay full as they age. My biggest fear is a procedure gone wrong. Compared to other surgeries, is buccal fat removal dangerous in any way? What are the success/satisfaction rates and have you seen any that have gone poorly? (lumpy face/overly gaunt/etc). Also, what is the recovery time? thank you for your opinions!
