Will buccal fat removal cause hollow cheeks with aging?

1 day ago

I'm thinking about buccal fat removal but worried about aging My cheeks are naturally full even though I'm not overweight. I like the idea of a slimmer face, but I'm worried removing fat now could make my face look hollow later.

It’s a valid concern — buccal fat removal can create a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the short term, but as the face naturally loses volume with age, the results may look overly hollow or gaunt over time. This is why many surgeons recommend the procedure for those in their late 20s or older with naturally full cheeks, after assessing facial structure. Consulting a qualified plastic surgeon for a personalized evaluation will help you weigh the long-term aesthetic outcomes before making a decision.
