A Buccal Fat Removal procedure is permanent, as the fat removed from the lower cheek areas does not typically regenerate. If anything, they reduce in size and volume over time due to age and natural body development. To reverse a buccal fat removal procedure, would require another invasive surgery. Fat would need to be grafted from another area in the body and surgically placed in the lower cheek area. Dr. Keyes is very careful to avoid over-resecting (removal) the buccal fat and keeping your appearance natural.
Surgery is a major decision and it is very personal. For this reason, and to prevent any possible regrets, we recommend thoroughly discussing the buccal fat removal with Dr. Keyes and weighing up the long-term results, so that you can make an informed decision before going under the knife.
