Buccal Fat Removal + Aging Q&A

Can this surgery affect the speed of aging and the appearance of the signs of aging faster on the face and does it affect the ratio of glycogen on my face And in the future can affect skin lax

F 21 - I've seen a lot of people hate on buccal fat removal or reduction. I have pretty big buccal fat pads and have had multiple surgeons tell me in person I'd be a great candidate for buccal reduction. But I'm worried because so many people say it makes you look older quicker or too hollow and age horribly... i don't want that at all. Is it true about the poor aging? Or is it more about how much is removed, and if you really are a good canidate or not?

I have been told that I am a good candidate for buccal fat removal by a few surgeons. My main concern is how I might age in the next 10 years. Based on my bone structure, should I fear of the hollow/gaunt look? I am 115, Asian, and 27

Ive been told buccal fat removal would benefit me but some people whove gotten the procedure look older and say it leaves a hollow when making certain expressions. I want a youthful appearance, not an old one. I want to add that Ive gained a lot of stubborn weight due to pregnancy so I will upload pics of my face before I got pregnant. Do I need buccal fat removal? Since its irreversible Im afraid to regret it. My aesthetic goal is Lynda Carters face structure IF it suits me.

I would like to know if this procedure ages you faster. Does it thins the skin as you age?

Hello, I am a 29 year old male who is going to get a mentoplasty and deep neck lift done in the next couple of months. My goal is to have a more defined face and jawline. My surgeon recommended buccal fat removal but I am a bit afraid due to comments about bichectomys causing accelerated aging. Seeing my picture, do you think buccal fat removal is right for me? I want second opinion regarding it.

Having fatty cheeks all my life, Ive had my eyes on Buccal fat removal before it became a trend. I was always told to wait until I was older. I am now 35 and feel like theyre starting to sag. But with the awful reviews Buccal fat removal has gotten lately, Im wondering if another procedure is better. Would hate to look older vs younger

I am 24 years old and I got buccal fat removal in July 2020. It was the biggest mistake of my life and I wake up depressed everyday. It's only been a year and my face has changed drastically. I look older and tired and my face looks really hollowed. I don't know why the doctor said I was a good candidate, he said I would get the results I wanted. Is there anyway that I can bring back the youthfulness of my face or add fat? I don't want to do fillers forever.

I dont have chipmunk cheeks but want to reduce the bulk of my lower face as fat pads have moved to lower face as I age.

I was thinking about performing buccal fat removal as a male and had a few questions. Often times, I hear it causes premature aging but why does this effect not seem to happen to people that naturally have hollow cheeks? Should they not age just as bad as someone who had buccal fat removal. (My bone structure is good, I just have a bit of excess fat specifically in the cheek area).
