Buccal fat or jowl fat? (Photo)

November 2, 2015
Asked By:Thea Jones in Los Angeles, CA

I am planning to search for the right doctor for me, but it's difficult to find the right one when I don't know exactly what I need. I am well aware of my tear trough/nose/weak chin/ and neck fat BUT I am unsure if I need Buccal fat removal or jowl lipo.... The fullness of my cheeks are genetic, but unwanted. What is the determinations factor? I am searching to lessen the fullness and reach a more sculpted facial structure. My cheeks are very squishy and feel like love handles.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS says:

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Clearly this is very unusual. I suspect that your parotid duct or gland was injured during surgery. The incision is actually placed very near the opening of the duct but I've never seen or heard of this type of injury. What is likely happening is that...

Raymond E. Lee, MD says:

Thanks for sharing. Buccal fat pad reduction from the intra oral route should not make your dimples go away. They should still be there once the swelling goes away.  In fact it is possible that the procedure can enhance you dimples.  In my recent buccal fat pad procedure on a younger...
