I had buccal fat removal and now I'm concerned about the consequences. Is it possible that the buccal fat removal will accelerate the malar fat pad descent? I mean, the malar fat pad is located above the buccal fat pad. Does the buccal fat gives any form of support to the malar fat? I had chubby lower cheeks but I don't want my apple cheeks to go down. Thank you
