WORTH IT
I decided to write this review, because I have read that a lot of people here on this forum are unhappy with their results of a buccal fat removal operation and are searching for a reversal.

I had my buccal fat pads removed from my cheeks (buccal fat removal) one year ago in Germany and was very unhappy with the result. It made me look older and tired. I wanted my full cheeks back.

I came across this forum and asked („ask a doctor“) if it is possible to reverse a buccal fat removal.
Some surgeons recommend me a fat transfer to replace the lost fat of my lower cheeks, but that was not what I wanted. A fat transfer is very unpredictable. Nobody in the world can tell if it is permanent (there exists no scientific proof) and how much of it reabsorbs in the first 3-6 months after the procedure.

Finally my researches brought me to a highly skilled and very experienced surgeon in Zurich (Switzerland), named Professor Sailer.

He told me about an "implant solution" (lyophilized cartilage). It is possible to augment the place where the buccal fat resides (under the masseter muscle) with lyo-cartilage.

I think there exists no better solution. I had my operation six months ago, and the final result is great. It is permanent and looks very natural. I have my full cheeks back again. But as always, there is also a disadvantage, he is expensive, you will need a lot of money.

Thank you for sharing your experience, glad that you are happy with your results. Would you  mind telling us the cost or the procedure? Do you have any before and after photos to share?

Hi thanks for the review! Did you have all your buccal fat removed during your fist surgery or just a portion of it?
May 30, 2015
Both of them completely. Regards Ralley

I am not certain why you would post a "Worth It" rating when you were dissatisfied with the Buccal Fat Removal procedure and later reversed it.

I think is because she is talking about the lyophilized cartilage operation, there is no better place to publish her review than here so people who are devasted for buccal fat removal results can get some hope by reading this. I had buccal fat removal on January and now I am living a nightmare. So sorry for my bad english. Thank you Ralley :)

Is this real?
I had buccal fat removal in 2013 and I look like a skeleton.
I have resigned to use Voluma all this time.
Can you please post some pictures?
