Will a full buccal fat removal hollow out my temples?

March 1, 2023
Asked By:Sociable180448 in Avon Park, Florida, USA

I had buccal fat partially removed from my cheeks, but the result is asymmetrical. I’m considering getting it fixed, but since it’s become clear to me that most surgeons struggle to reduce the same amount of buccal fat on both cheeks, I’m now considering having my entire buccal pads removed. I'm not too concerned about my cheeks looking gaunt, but since the buccal fat extends all the way up to the temporal area, will a full removal end up leaving my temporal areas looking gaunt too?
