Does buccal fat removal really cause premature aging? (photos)

Asked By:Ashleyyys in Jacksonville, FL

I have been to plastic surgeons about buccal fat removal and they never say that it's important to have because of aging of the face. I've actually had one tell me that it's a myth and there's no use for the buccal fat. But yet I go on Realself and see some doctors advise against it because it can give a gaunt look as you get older and prematsure aging. I'm confused as to what is correct about this procedure?
