Buccal fat removal surgery is an individualized procedure that addresses undesired full or plump cheeks. If you are considering this procedure, you must evaluate your motivation for surgery. Having a clear and appropriate reason for choosing this surgery is crucial.
Additionally, patients presenting any of the following conditions are not good candidates for this operation:
- Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes
- Significant weight changes due to thyroid disease
- Recent fat injection or dermal fillers in the lower cheek area
- Smokers or individuals with unhealthy eating habits
- Individuals with unrealistic expectations
Healthy patients with stable weight and good eating habits are ideal candidates for buccal fat removal. Individuals fulfilling these conditions, accompanied by realistic expectations and appropriate motivation, will most benefit from this operation.
