My face looks gaunt and my cheeks look saggy. Can I reverse buccal fat removal?

Question

I deeply regret getting my buccal fat pad removed, I look more gaunt, my face looks way slimmer in an un attractive way and everyone asks why I duffle look very tired. I feel I'm starting to show more marionette lines now and my cheeks just look like they're sagging! was wondering if this is something that can get reversed through facial fat transfer or will I need more to it? Sometimes fuller cheeks just look better on some people!

Thank you for your question. I’m sorry that you’re unhappy with the results of your buccal fat removal. While the results of this procedure are permanent, an autologous facial fat transfer can revolumize shallow contours, smooth lines and wrinkles, and adjust the changes in the overall face shape. Using your body’s own fat is a safe and natural way to restore volume and create a supple and youthful appearance. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your surgical history, discuss your concerns with you, and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
