Date: 17th February 2023

It's no secret that the quest for physical perfection has always been a driving force in the world of celebrity, and the latest craze to hit the red carpet and social media is buccal fat removal. 
 
 
The transformative procedure involves removing the fat pads in the lower cheeks, to slim down the face, resulting in chiselled, high cheekbones. Reportedly, celebrities are turning to this procedure to achieve that coveted sculpted look. Speculation that Khloe Kardashian, Bella Hadid, Lea Michelle and Dove Cameron have all had buccal fat removal is all over the internet. So, what does buccal fat removal involve, why is it so popular and could it be the procedure for you? 

What is Buccal Fat?

Buccal fat is found in the lower parts of your cheeks. Depending on how much fat you have in this area it can leave an overly round or ‘baby faced’ appearance. By removing this fat, the face becomes slimmer and appears more ‘V’ shaped. It's a relatively quick and straightforward procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime and recovery being around 3 weeks. 

Chrissy Teigen has both spoken openly about her experience with buccal fat removal. She said, in an Instagram live that she’s seen great results and she’s really happy with how it makes her face look.  

Is buccal fat removal right for you?

With hundreds of millions of views on TikTok it’s easy to see there’s real interest in buccal fat removal. Even though many stars haven’t spoken publicly about the procedure there are many theories about which celebrities may have undergone the procedure. That tight, slim sculpted face looks great in photos and it’s understandable why someone who is in the spotlight would consider it. So, is buccal fat removal right for you? If you’re concerned that you have a ‘baby face’ and want a more defined face with sculpted cheekbones, it may be for you. With a procedure time of under an hour and recovery being around 3 weeks, it’s definitely appealing. 

Buccal fat removal is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure, but as with all cosmetic surgery involves a certain level of risk. It's important to consult with a qualified cosmetic surgeon and discuss the potential risks and benefits of the treatment before making a decision. 

Overall, buccal fat removal is a powerful tool in the world of cosmetic surgery, and it's easy to see why so many people - celebrities and regular people alike - are choosing to undergo the procedure. Whether you're looking to enhance your cheekbones or achieve a more contoured, defined facial profile, buccal fat removal can be a great option.
