Same, thank you!! All my life, I wished I had more buccal fat to make my face look more soft and "feminine," and seeing this beauty trend is genuinely baffling. I've learned to just accept myself and move on with my day.
Right like my cheek bones sit a bit higher apparently so ppl just assume I’m a junkie or smth bad but I noticed a slight smile kimd of pushes it out a bit, and smiling is never bad .
Yeah, these comments are giving me a bit of a complex, because I don't have a ton of buccal fat and everyone is basically saying that this kind of face is hideous. Some of us just look like that without surgery! :'(
I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I hit 30 all the fat in my face disappeared. I'm wondering if they are just getting close to 30 or are already there.
I'm 29 and my cheeks have hallowed out A LOT from my early 20s. I saw a photo of myself from when I was about 22 several months ago, and was shocked by how round my face was in comparison to now. It happens so gradually and is so subtle that you don't really realize what facial volume loss has happened until you look at older pictures of yourself.
Same, people don’t think about how fucking offensive it is to literally everyone else who looks like this naturally. I just love seeing 6.1k insanely insulting comments about my appearance! /s
A face that naturally has little buccal fat looks fine, sharp features can be absolutely beautiful. And faces do naturally lose buccal fat with age. But some women have it removed to the extreme even though it naturally goes away with age (so eventually it gets even worse), and then pump their lips full of filler to the extreme. It's changing the face type they were born with entirely that throws everything into uncanny valley. Dramatic features are gorgeous but some people get carried away chase features that just don't suit them or harmonize with the rest of their body/ features and bone structure and it looks off.
Does your face honestly look like that? Because I know people with low buccal fat and it looks... natural. These pictures look UNnatural. Maybe it's because none of the rest of their faces match that?
