Can my buccal fat come back if I gain weight by bulking?

Buccal fat removal is a PERMANENT cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. Buccal fat pads that are removed NEVER come back. HOWEVER, if a patient that underwent buccal fat removal and then gains excessive body weight, he or she could she a decrease in the results of the buccal fat removal. The reason is the remaining fat pockets of the face ( that are around the already gone buccal fat pad pocket) can grow in size, just masking the result of buccal fat removal. 

Thank you for submitting your question.Your buccal fat is not likely to return due to you gaining weight, as it is also probably not going to be an extreme amount. I would recommend you consult with a Board-certified plastic surgeon.

After buccal fat is removed, weight gain or weight loss typically has very little effect on that area. Best,

The buccal fat pad is not very responsive to changes in weight, and is more of a genetic deposit.  To restore this lost volume, the best product would be Sculptra, which can be injected deeper into the face, though this does not seem to be your issue.  Good luck!
