Fat Transfer to refill the buccal area?

Restoration of cheek volume following buccal fat removal can be accomplished with either fat transfer or dermal fillers. Fat transfer has the advantage of replacing the excised buccal fat with similar tissue. Several sessions may be required. Dermal fillers present an option with less down time and recovery. I prefer to use Sculptra in this area. Juvederm Volume, Perlane, and Radiesse are also options. I hope that this helps.When considering plastic surgery, please keep in mind:1. Begin with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon2. Seek a surgeon well versed in your procedure of interest3. Internet discussions do not replace the advice of your physicianBest wishes,Dr. Lyos

While truly reversing the operation with fat transfer is not possible, fat transfer can help restore a more normal appearance. Be prepared for 2-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 months apart, depending on how well the transferred at engrafts.
