Facial Fat Grafting to Restore the Buccal Area After Buccal Fat Removal
If you had buccal fat removal and regret it, Dr. Neavin offers a solution through facial fat grafting to restore your appearance. At 20 years old, I underwent buccal fat removal, hoping to achieve a model-like look. However, 1.5 years later, it left me feeling deflated and significantly lowered my self-confidence. I no longer recognized myself in the mirror. I found Dr. Neavin on RealSelf. He had fantastic results and reviews for fat grafting and was able to fat graft to the mid-face / buccal space where so many other plastic surgeons are afraid to go. Dr. Neavin uses blunt instruments to ensure no potential of injury in this delicate area.
Dr. Neavin's exceptional bedside manner sets him apart from many plastic surgeons. His high level of skill is matched only by his personable demeanor and patient-centered approach. During our consultation, he advised that I didn't necessarily need any procedures (as I am 23) but offered the option to restore fat to the buccal space if I wished, even suggesting it could be done under local anesthesia in his office. However, I opted for general anesthesia since I was undergoing fat grafting to my entire face.
Now, one month post-op, I am still slightly swollen but am very pleased with the results. I underwent full facial fat grafting, including lips, temples, smile lines, under eyes, and mid-face. I am someone who always wants to look natural. I do not like the plump LA lip look and don’t want anyone to be able to tell that I’ve had plastic surgery. This surgery along with Dr. Neavin’s skill, keeps you looking 100% natural. Another highlight of Dr. Neavin’s practice is that he views patients as lifelong commitments, providing touch-ups 4-6 months after the procedure to ensure satisfaction once swelling and fat reabsorption have subsided.
As a bonus, having struggled with acne since age 13, I had scars on my forehead. The fat's stem cells can remodel scars and fine lines, making this surgery a blessing for those with acne scarring. This surgery has made me excited for future fat grafting or nano-fat microneedling for further acne scar improvements, as I've seen remarkable changes. Even under my eyes, all existing fine lines have disappeared.
Michelle, Dr. Neavin's patient care coordinator, is a humble and down-to-earth professional. Unlike some coordinators who act like salespeople, Michelle guides you with a friendly, unbiased perspective. You can rest assured that you will be taken care of by Dr. Neavin and Michelle.
