Will buccal fat removal procedure make my face slimmer? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I'd like to know if a buccal fat removal procedure will make my face slimmer or do I need a different procedure? Thank you

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit most from a combination of buccal fat removal and liposuction to slim down your facial shape. Removing buccal fat tissue can define your cheekbones and jawline, while facial liposuction removes excess fat in other areas to create a smooth contour and a less rounded appearance. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your concerns and help you decide on the best approach to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Buccal Fat Removal can reduce the volume of the mid face, and by looking at the pictures, this could definitely be an option to help give you a slimmer, more narrow appearance. This could definitely be the right operation, especially on your right side which appears to be fuller than the left.

You present with a full lower face and the contour could be improved with buccal fat pad reduction. The removal of some buccal fat does slim the lower face but you might want to consider lower facial liposuction as well. Morpheus might be another consideration.

Hello! First of all thank you for your question.I have evaluated your photos and I recommend you buccal fat removal + chin liposuction to make your face slimmer. I don't know if you ever had a rhinoplasty surgery before, but you have a very bulbous tip and deviated nose. You can also consider a rhinoplasty surgery.

Hello !

Based on the pictures you provided, it looks like you could benefit from a liposuction of the face.

Of course, an « in person » exam is necessary. 
Consult with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon.

I hope this helps,

Good luck !
