Hello doctors, based on the provided photos, would buccal fat removal be a good procedure for me? Am I a good candidate, I would like to have that high cheekbones, hollowed cheek look. Would getting braces be a good idea before or after the fat removal? Also, would it cause worse facial asymmetry? Or would cheek implants be a good idea to achieve the look, I feel as though my cheeks are flat. Thank you.

Answer: Would buccal fat removal be a good procedure for me? Buccal fat excision is an appropriate surgical procedure for patients that of overly full and wide cheek areas. In common terms, it is good for patients who have chipmunk cheeks. In reviewing your pictures, is difficult to tell if you're a good candidate because your cheek area is slightly full but not overly full. You are a patient that would need an in person consultation for a complete evaluation and explanation of the positives and negatives of this procedure in your situation. I hope this helps.
