Will buccal fat removal cause me premature sagging? (photos)

October 6, 2020

I really want smaller cheeks but I'm so afraid of premature sagging. I keep coming across horror stories of people who have developed drooping eyes, early laugh lines and wrinkles, sagging cheeks/jowls and drooping lips 10 years or so after buccal fat removal. I'm seeing a facial surgeon in November for a consultation so I have a lot of time to think but I really don't know if the uncertainty is worth it. Can I get some real answers please? Thank you. I'm getting submental lipo too btw.
