Does liposuction cause compensatory buccal fat pad enlargement? (Photos)

Kane
I have read study that said liposuction was found to cause compensatory increase in visceral fat after liposuction. Since both deep neck fat and buccal fat would classify as visceral deeper fat. Does this mean it could increase?? I have noticed my cheeks Im chubbier than years ago. In 2012 I had lipo on abdomen and flanks. On 2023, I did chest and jawline. Although my weight is higher than years ago. I noticed my face looks chubbier and my belly also sticks out more than before. Maybe this means im a good candidate for buccal fat reduction as the lipo may have enlarged it Also noticed my double chin area is not as tight after the lipo maybe it caused an increase in deep neck fat
