Do you really need that fat?
WORTH IT$1,200
Just wanted to clear something. Many people think that it's wrong to take out fat from a face because with age you will need that fat. It's not the same fat!!! Not at all!
With age fat from the face really goes away (maybe it goes straight to belly or hips? :)), but we lose the fat from the upper part of cheeks - between nose at cheekbones. And this buccal fat lies in the lower part of your face. It only drops down and really doen't do any good. I posted a picture of that fat pads before, it's not the fat that you will ever need.

Hey guys! So for those of you who asked how I look now. There's a picture.
But!
Although I'm still more then happy with the results there was a little problem. I'm not sure wheather it's just me or many people have to deal with this afterwards. But the story is that my face kinda dropped. Like you know when you lose weight and you have all this loose skin... A bumer actually. So I did some fillers injected to my cheekbones. Not much. I wanted to look natural and like myself. So it did the trick and lifted my face so to speak. Now I'm extremely happy with my face!
If you are considering buccal fat removal and you hate your face like I did - do it. But only if you completely trust your surgeon! I'm very proud of myself that I did it! Now I look back at my old photos and realise that it was a right desision. I was not ugly, and people loved my cheeks etc. but I was not happy with myself, now I am. Good luck to all! And thank you for commenting!

This is a really well done review. YOu look beautiful. I hope my face can look like that some day. Where exactly did you experience the drooping?

The drooping was in the nasolabial area. I can see many girls have that even without doing any surgeries. So it's partly aging process, partly the side effect of the procedure.

Hi,
Let me start by saying - you look beautiful. I know there are some pros and cons to this procedure. I've actually been straggling with my fat face myself since teenage years. I'm 30 now, and although my face have slimmed down a bit, I still don't like the way I look. I don't really need to loose much weight anywhere, except my cheeks. Which I found is the hardest thing to do. It's the first place for me to gain weight, and the last one to loose.
So few month ago, I had a small skin procedure done at a plastic surgeon office. So I asked him if he could do buccal fat removal for me. And he said he is against it, and will not perform the surgery. He explained that when I get older my skin will loose value, and I will regret what have been done. As you said a lot of surgeons are against it, but at the same time I see great results, like yours, for example.
Could you please give some info on Doctor who did your surgery? And, by the way, I'm from Ukraine as well :)

Your doctor is in Kiev right, if I read it correctly.
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad it worked for you.

Were there any risks/complications at all? I know a lot of surgeons don't perform this procedure. Did the doctor mention any possible after effects?

I don't remember, but probably no. This is extremly easy procedure. They just make a cut on the inside of your cheek and the fat falls out. The they cut what fell out and that's it. I didn't have any side effects.

It's been almost a year
Hey guys. It's been almost a year after the surgery. And I'm still happy that I did it. First several month I was like "OMG! Thank's God I did it!" every time I saw myself in a mirror. Then I just kind of got used to this image of me. But still once in a while I see my reflection and give myself a credit for doing it. And for not listening all those people who told me I should not do it (because after the surgery they were like "Girl, you look amaze!").
The only bump on the road I can see is that my face kinda dropped a little. But all I need is a course of face massages or some other beauty treatment. It's like after you lose weight and your skin feels a little loose. But you still know that you did everything right.
Promise a photo for the 1st anniversary ;)

What creates the droop is the loss of elasticity of the skin, and a lack of suitable bone structure (people with unpronounced cheekbones tend to sag more).
A doctor on one of the RS boards put it well:
"When your pants fall down, you will never get them up again by filling the pockets with more change (placing filler) or by removing change (taking the buccal fat pad). The only way the pants are coming up is to reach down and pull them up."
