Having fatty cheeks all my life, I’ve had my eyes on Buccal fat removal before it became a trend. I was always told to “wait until I was older”. I am now 35 and feel like they’re starting to sag. But with the awful reviews Buccal fat removal has gotten lately, I’m wondering if another procedure is better. Would hate to look older vs younger

Answer: Chipmunk Cheeks Hi there! The area you're pointing to can definitely be challenging, though options exist. Non-surgically, you can try fillers in the cheek area or threading. Additionally, Morpheus8 RF microneedling can help to improve the collagen and tightness of the skin. Buccal fat is a great option and will help to slim the cheeks, though I always stress to my patients that the result is often subtle - not dramatic. Lifting procedures of the face provide excellent improvement, though no ideal in someone who's 35 years old. Hope that provides some direction for you.

Answer: Best to be seen in person You should be seen in person and examined in person for your concerns. You are exactly right that inappropriate or over-reduction of the buccal fat pad can age one's appearance, so it is crucial to be selective about performing that procedure, or sometimes perform other procedures in conjunction with it to obtain optimal results.
