Hi There. I wanted to ask if its possible to have another buccal fat removal surgery if I was not satisfied with the first outcome? I know that my surgeon did not take all of the fat out as she said she did not want to make a hollow look but I think I would quite like a more prominent result. If I was to have more fat taken out, how long do I have to wait to have it done again? Thank you so much for your help.
