Asked By:lydiabuttrick1 in Denver, CO

I'm just curious, I had buccal fat removal surgery today and the doctor removed 7 grams of fat on my left cheek and 6 on my right. What is the average amount in grams that doctors usually take out in slim female patients? Was my amount on the larger or smaller side?
