Will Buccal fat removal work for me? (Photos)

Buccal fat removal is a plastic surgery procedure that helps to improve the fullness of the lower anterior cheeks.  By removing the fullness of this area, patient candidates  could an smaller, thinner V shaped face ( if they have good cheek bones). If the patient have not good cheek bones ( anterior and lateral cheek bones), cheek enhancement with fillers ( like voluma) does help to achieve a chiseled face. 

Buccal fat pad removal is a great operation when performed in properly selected patients and not just utilized haphazardly to create enhanced definition in a face. If your lower cheeks or submalar area (the area below your cheekbones themselves) are somewhat thin or narrow, taking out the buccal fat will highlight your cheekbones but possibly, with a trade off-that, could result in a gaunt, older looking face. To get more customized approach to your concerns as well as find out the exact cost, it is best to have an in person consultation for a board certified plastic surgeon.

You potentially could create a slimmer face with conservative buccal fat extraction and possibly jawline liposuction.  You need an in office consultation and to fully understand the risks and limitations of these procedures.  

Dear viktoriasaklofske,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination but if you are looking to make your face slimmer, then you might consider buccal fat removal surgery. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
