What Exactly Is Buccal Fat Surgery?
Buccal fat surgery simply means removing the fat from the cheeks to get a slim and defined face.
Buccal fat is situated in the middle of the cheekbones and jawbones. People with chubby cheeks tend to get surgery, and the buccal fat pad, which is the size of a grape, is removed to give the cheeks a hollow appearance.
The procedure usually takes about half an hour, and before the surgery begins, the skin on your face is numbed with local anesthesia. After that, the plastic surgeon will make a small incision inside the mouth to reveal the buccal fat pad.
After exposing the fat pads, they will press more for better exposure, then cut and remove the fat pads and close the incision. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the after-effects of the surgery include bruising, swelling, and numbness at the incision sites.
It takes three weeks to recover from the surgery. The cost of the surgery is between $2,000 and $5,000, but it may differ according to geography.
Why Is Everyone Talking About Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal has been the talk of the town recently since Glee star Lea Michele posted a selfie of her on Instagram where her face had a hollow appearance between the cheekbones and jawbones.
In mid-December 2022, the trend of buccal fat has been spreading like wildfire, and the hashtags are receiving millions of views. #BuccalFat has gained over 48.4 million views, #BuccalFatRemoval has amassed more than 135.5 million views, and #BuccalFatPadRevol has 5.1 million views.
People want to undergo the procedure to achieve certain beauty standards. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, he has been doing the procedures three times more than he did five years ago.
People have been filming their procedures and uploading them on the platform, and they have been providing positive reviews on the surgery, but there are certain drawbacks as well.
According to Dr. Steven Pearlman, we tend to lose fat in the midface as we age, and when we remove the fat at a young age, we might look gaunt when we start aging.
As per the news presented by NBC, TikTok users are using hashtags to dissolve the trend. They have been mentioning that if there is no positivity regarding fuller cheeks, then people will see the negativity and undergo the surgery.
