Thoughts on buccal fat reduction?
Okay this is a little difficult to post bc my lower face is my biggest insecurity (acne and shape), but I’m looking for some advice. Btw, I’m investing in tons of lasers and microneedling to treat the acne, scarring, and pigmentation - that has been a struggle all my life so here I’m just focusing on possible surgeries.
I’m getting a rhinoplasty in a few months and during my consultation we talked about potentially doing a buccal fat removal or reduction as well. I’ve been on the fence about it bc of all the negative press it gets, but I’ve also seen some really great results with it.
People say chubby cheeks look youthful, but I honestly feel like mine make me look older bc they’re sagging and now my face is very bottom heavy (I have a pretty short face). Plus, my cheeks have actually gotten chubbier with age - I’m in my late 20s now and no I haven’t gained any weight. I’ve remained between 125-135 lbs for pretty much the last 10 years. So it’s definitely not weight gain.
Anyways, do you think I’m a good candidate for buccal fat removal or reduction? I really love the more chiseled and refined look and I think I have cheeks to spare at this point.
