What Is Buccal Fat And Should You Get It Removed?
“Because this is a new fad, we don’t really know how people who have had this are going to age,” says Doft. “The population being treated now is drastically different from the population that was being treated before, so we just don’t have the long-term data.” Also something to remember: Unlike a Brazilian Butt Lift, once it’s done, it’s done. Should someone have buccal fat removal remorse and want their cheeks back, Doft says, “that’s going to be really hard to reconstruct, if you can reconstruct it at all.” For those who have had a happy result with buccal fat removal but who begin to see unwanted age-related hollowing, she says, “the likelihood is that we are going to be fat grafting into a lot of cheeks in the future.”
