Q #1) Most importantly – how safe is this procedure? If 1 is not risky at all and 10 is very risky, how would you rate it? What percent of the time have you had/heard of serious complications & what were they? Q #2) Am I a good candidate? I have full cheeks around my mouth area, I’d like a more chiseled look. I’m 5’10”, 175 lbs…if I lost another 10-15 lbs would I achieve the same look? Q #3) How much should I have taken out? The entire “pad” or just a portion of it?

Answer: Facial contouring I think that you would be very happy with improved facial contouring, which would include buccal fat removal with some other minor procedures to improve the contour of the face. I think that you would still have some fullness around the mouth, but much less than you have now.The risk of complications is very low. Complications are always a possibility, but the risk for this procedure is very low. I would rate it as a 2. I would only recommend removing a portion of the pad.

Answer: Risks of A Buccal Fat Removal I would give the surgery a 3-4 and for perspective a hair transplant is a 2 and a filler is a 4 and a heart surgery is a 10. I would say you a a good candidate with one caveat. With a beard you will not see much of a difference. If you decided to stay shaved or wanted the option then it would be more worthwhile. Finally you never take out the entire pad just part of it. Hope that helps!
