Can I get buccal fat removal at 18? Good candidate? (Photo)

Young patients around 18 years old with a genetically determined, chubby, round face, who also have high cheekbones, are excellent candidates for buccal fat removal. This procedure removes anterior lower face fullness, helping patients achieve a thinner, more chiseled lower face, especially noticeable during a smile.
Although there are risks such as infection, bruising, swelling, and nerve damage, these are minimized when performed by a plastic surgeon specializing in this procedure.
Most patients undergoing buccal fat removal experience a significant boost in self-esteem as the insecurity associated with a chubby face and smile is alleviated.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,

Buccal fat removal is a relatively straightforward procedure that involves removing the buccal fat pads from the cheeks, leading to a more sculpted look and creating the hollows under the cheeks that you desire. Given your family history and your current facial structure, this procedure could be beneficial for you.However, it's important to have a thorough consultation to discuss your goals, evaluate your facial structure, and ensure that this procedure is the best option for you. If you're ready to proceed, I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide personalized advice and help you make an informed decision.Please let me know if you have any more questions.Best regards,Sibel Atalay, MD Plastic Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgeon
