I am looking to get hollow cheeks. My cheeks are pretty normal, so I am not the usual patient for this procedure. I've read very negative things about buccal fat removal, so I have instead found an alternative; Facial Lipo to my lower cheeks. My question; ***Will this fat eventually return if I gain some weight later?*** I've done abdominal lipo in the past, and most of it came back. But this is facial fat (on a 25 year old), so it might differ, right?

Answer: Facial liposuction you should post photos to see if you are a candidate. I shy people away from facial liposuction as this can cause damage to nerves if not done correctly and people often regret this as they age (given you lose fat and want to replenish volume with age). Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Facial liposuction The negative things about Buccal fat removal all apply to facial liposuction. There are so many critically important structures in the face that liposuction in that area is very risky. Abdominal lip should not have resulted in return of fat unless you made no changes in your diet and exercise. If you have bad habits, the fat cells that are left behind after liposuction will get larger, giving you at the appearance that the fat returned. There is no difference in the sense that if you have more calories in than calories out , it has to go somewhere. Be careful.
