Can you add volume to buccal fat pad?

March 25, 2015
Asked By:Bambi1 in Agoura Hills, CA

I lost about 15 pounds recently and I think my buccal fad pad has become hollow. I have lost volume in other areas, but this area particular is causing me to look hard. Can volume be added to this area? If so, what procedure would be beneficial?
