35 year old wanting to get Buccal fat removed. No matter how much weight I lose I always have had a chubby face. Am I a good candidate for it? I’m worried about the gaunt look that can happen as you get older but I’ve always wanted a slimmer face.

Answer: Buccal fat Overresection, paired with fat loss that occurs with normal facial aging, can lead to a gaunt/too thin appearance. I perform buccal fat reduction (not complete excision) to lessen the likelihood of this. A conservative approach is best (much like treatment for lower eyelid fat), as this procedure yields permanent results.
