Am I really a suitable candidate for buccal fat removal? (Photo)

Young patients with chubby cheeks are usually candidates for buccal fat removal (bichectomía) if they have high cheekbones. This procedure helps achieve a thinner, more sculpted face, similar to the results seen in the samples. One simple way to determine candidacy is to look in the mirror and suck in your cheeks. If the resulting look aligns with your desired outcome, you are likely a good candidate for the procedure (see video below). However, it's important to note that buccal fat removal does not address fullness along the jawline or masseter area. For these concerns, procedures like facial liposuction or Botox to the masseter might be necessary. Additionally, buccal fat removal is not a substitute as a replacement for a chin implant. Therefore, depending on your ultimate goals, combining buccal fat removal with another plastic surgery procedure may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
I hope this helps!
