Facial Fat Transfer: Buccal Fat Restoration
I am currently 2 months out from the excellent experience I had with Dr. Neavin and his staff undergoing Facial Fat Transfer to restore fat in the buccal space.
For context, I am a 27 year old male who underwent an extremely aggressive buccal fat removal procedure back in 2020 to disastrous results. The buccal fat removal dramatically compounded my aging, leaving me with a severely gaunt appearance with significant shadows and dents cutting across my face. In 2022, I had a facial fat transfer into the buccal space by a different surgeon to try to reverse the procedure. While it made a significant difference, the majority of the defect remained as it appeared that the fat was not grafted across the entirety of the buccal space (it was exclusively placed in the lower buccal area; a significant portion of the upper part of the buccal space was left untouched).
Dr. Neavin took the time, both in our initial consultation and in the office, to seriously examine and consider all of my concerns and answer any questions I had. As a patient with poor previous cosmetic surgery experience, I couldn't be more grateful for the hospitality extended to me by both him and his great staff. Moreover, the improvement I received from the procedure is fantastic. Dr. Neavin absolutely hit the area that I felt was missed in the previous restoration and I look dramatically closer to my original appearance. In addition, it's difficult to emphasize just how much better my face feels with the support from the added volume. For the past four years, it has felt like my face was perpetually sagging from the absence of fat within the buccal space. Now, it once again feels much more akin to how it felt prior to any surgical procedures.
I highly recommend Dr. Neavin for anyone who is looking for an anatomically precise solution to correcting buccal fat removal. I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise in this area and would gladly return if I ever felt that I needed a refill.
