Question

Female, 26 years old. Wondering if I need buccal fat removal or what procedure I need to get rid of these shadows on my face

Caner Kacmaz, MD · Answer

I recommend you fillers. Dermal fillers improve shadowing and hollowness tremendously.  Buccal fat removal will not be beneficial for you. Best wishes.

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Hi there! Buccal fat removal tends to create more narrowness and shadowing. As a result, that may not be what you want. If you're pointing to your nasolabial folds and marionette lines, filler is a great option to try. It is relatively safe and the results are immediate. Having some shadowing in those areas is important to create distinction between the cheek and upper lip as well as chin. If more substantial changes are desired, fat transfer can work. I would avoid anything invasive like facelifting at 26 years old. Hope this helps!
