Is it possible to have buccal fat removal on one side of the face only?

Asked By:Neat594389 in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I wanted to know if buccal lipectomy on one side can address my issue. I had a jaw asymmetry which was corrected, but the procedure left me with an asymmetry in terms of the amount of fat in each cheek. I was recommended to have fat transfer on the side with less fat(which I do not prefer)(right side) and want to know if I can instead have buccal fat removal on the other side(left side) to make my face more symmetrical
