No buccal fat removal results 6 months post-op

The size of the buccal fat pad varies from person to person. In some cases, the amount removed may not be significant enough to create noticeable changes, as this depends on factors such as bony structure, existing fat levels, and any potential weight fluctuations. It's important to note that the procedure is "buccal fat pad reduction" not "removal" as it is impossible and not indicated to be completely removed. Obviously, what was removed from that specific portion will not grow back. However, the remaining fat can still increase in size if a person gains weight.
