Buccal Fat Removal is a popular plastic surgery trend that has been taking Hollywood by storm. But, this cosmetic surgery trend has a dark side. While Buccal Fat Removal may seem like the perfect way to get a slimmer face and a more chiselled jawline, it may not be worth the risks associated with it.

Fortunately, there are a number of other popular cosmetic surgery trends that can help you achieve the look you want without the risks of buccal fat removal.

Some people may choose to opt for non-invasive treatments Botox injections, which can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face.

The risks of buccal fat removal

Buccal fat removal, or face liposuction, is becoming increasingly sought after. But while many people look to buccal fat removal as a way of achieving the desired look, there are some risks associated with this procedure.


One of the main risks associated with buccal fat removal is nerve damage. During the procedure, small nerves in the area can be damaged, leading to permanent numbness and tingling sensations. In some cases, patients may also experience facial drooping or asymmetry due to nerve damage.


There is also a risk that this plastic surgery trend could make you look older in the long run. Buccal fat removal is designed to remove excess fat from the cheeks and chin area, but if too much fat is removed, it could cause hollowed cheeks or other aging signs.


Before deciding to undergo any form of plastic surgery, it’s important to consider all possible risks and make an informed decision about your treatment. As with any surgery, buccal fat removal carries its own set of risks that should be discussed with your doctor before making any decisions.
