The choice to undergo buccal fat pad removal is a personal decision you should make only after considering the pros and cons and meeting in private with Dr. Lee to discuss your unique concerns. It is a purely cosmetic procedure with no medical benefit. You might consider the high cost of your unhappiness with your appearance in terms of quality of life when weighing the advantages and disadvantages of removing face fat. Never undergo cosmetic treatments to please someone else. However, if you truly feel you can benefit, there is no reason not to move forward with your aesthetic goals.
