Which is More Dangerouse Buccal Fat Remover or Laser Liposucction for Face?

Hello Sara1980,

 

Both procedures will give you permanent results.

If irregularities are to take place with the Laser Facial Lipo, reversing the damage is very hard whereas the Buccal Fat Pad Removal is reversible to certain degree.

This is why, I encourage you to seek a consultation with an extensively experienced surgeon who will provide you with the best advises so you will be making an informed decision.

Unfortunately, without physical assessment it is hard to give you a definitive advise taking into consideration that you could be a great candidate for alternative facial contouring procedures that will give you commendable results and the "heart shaped" face you desire to enhance you facial beauty.


Thank you for your question.

Buccal Fat pad Removal and Liposuction are both quite safe. That being said there is always an element of uncertainty when undergoing any procedure. Fortunately, if you are seeing a qualified plastic surgeon with proper training then your chances of a complication is quite low.
It's hard to say without seeing photographs, but both of these can be good options in the correct patient. 
In young patients:
For fat below the jawline , like a fat neck - laser or regular liposuction can be a good option
For fat above the jawline, like chubby cheeks - buccal fat pad removal is an excellent option. 
These can be performed together.
Hope this helps!

This is one of my favorite facial contouring procedures which creates a slimming look and reduces the appearance of chubby cheeks or “chipmunk cheeks” in the lower part of the face. This quick surgery can enhance the appearance of high cheek bones and give a more sculpted and chiseled facial look. Best of all, buccal fat pad removal is a permanent procedure and the buccal fat does not come back.
