Question

Interested in getting buccal fat removal but don't want it to look bad as I age and lose volume. Would this TX be good for me? TIA

Thank you for your question and photo. While you don’t appear to be a candidate for buccal fat removal, you may benefit from a facial fat transfer to treat volume loss and balance your overall face shape. By restoring volume, your face can appear more supple and youthful while also improving the quality of your skin.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your concern and aesthetic goals with you to help you decide on the best approach.

Hello !

In my experience, you are not a good candidate for buccal fat pad removal. Your fave is not round enough and it would make you look gaunt.

It looks like you could benefit from facial fat transfer to contour your face.

It is best to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for the best results.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

The procedure is not recommended for your contours. You can consider other options to achieve balance
