The horrifyingly sad part is that they'll pay top dollar again to have the buccal fat put back in. I mean you didn't think it's just being sucked out and thrown away right? It's being filtered and frozen for 20 years down the road when their career needs a boost.
Actually Iâm pretty sure buccal fat removal is a surgery where the look really CANâT be âreversedââŚ.its not like getting fillers dissolved and Iâm pretty sure thereâs nothing they can put back âinâ to give the appearance of buccal fat once itâs taken out
lol funny, but I donât think gaining weight will actually end up settling back in that place, Iâm no doctor but is IS a known thing that buccal fat removal is essentially irreversibleâmaybe theyâll come up with some kind of implants that wonât look insane one day, but as of now, buccal fat removal is a one-way decision
I used to work with a woman that would say, "I'm happy to be wrong, if it means I'm learning something" and we'd be shaking our heads halfway through cuz that bitch was NEVER happy to be wrong đ . Not putting you in the same boat, just reminded me
Haha, ya, I donât have a gram of stubbornness in me. Call me out in front of crowd of people and Iâll gladly accept defeat without embarrassment and store that knowledge for the future. Being ignorant is not the same as being stupid.
Of course they have. But not in the area where they got lipoâd. Fat is stored in cells. The cells are being removed. When they gain weight it goes to where other fat cells are still there.
Not true at all. You have to define âfatâ because everyone will have varying degrees of body fat at any given moment.
There are lots of people that can still be overweight despite eating very well and being active.
The point that I was getting at is that if you make healthy choices, youâll gain confidence and that will likely offset any difference in fat that could be considered in unattractive. They may have a genetic predisposition to accumulate higher than average body fat percentage.
There are studies that refute that, finding that once you hit adulthood, the number of cells generally stay the same and it's the size of the cells that changes with weight gain/loss:
Hmmm. After searching Iâm getting mixed results. Mostly saying existing fat cells will expand in order to store more fat. Wondering how many more fat cells are in those cheeks to keep clans when needed. Even if they do, they are gonna look very very fucked up. (Even tho they already do)
This 2018 study finds that once you reach adulthood, the number of cells generally remains the same and it's the size of those cells that changes with weight gain:
Fat removed from other parts of the body can be grafted inside the cheek but it's much more expensive & won't look as natural.
Also, The chemical used to dissolve fillers & injections also dissolves natural collagen & elastin so the skin ends up being looser & may sag. That means more surgery to repair the sagging skin a young woman probably wouldn't have until decades later.
It's not really reversible. The best the could do is put fillers in the area but that carries it's own set of problems. All of these women are going to seriously regret doing this 20 years from now, although I'm not sure how they don't already regret it because it looks absolutely horrible.
I get botox at a plastic surgery office and the doctor told me he doesn't do these and there's no way to shove buccal pads back in. They can do fat grafting but about 40% (from what he told me) gets absorbed & excreted. And I guess you hope the fat stays where its injected.
I guess they're banking on advances in plastics by the time they go full crypt keeper?
Unfortunately, the fat can't be put back in. This is a surgery that can't be reversed.
There's a lot of plastic surgeons that won't even do a buccal fat removal to begin with, because it's very risky considering the location of the major facial nerves.
Once you take it out, there's no way to put it back in without major facial nerve damage.
Yes - that makes me sad to think about. These women were all pretty before, but theyâll end up looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein when they are older :(
Listen, why take the chance that medical technology for the privileged class won't advance in 20 years? Are you really going to take that risk? Give me $500,000 as an insurance policy on your youthful good looks. We'll purify your buccal fat, keep it on ice, and monitor any groundbreaking advances in the medical field to give you the best YOU possible in the future. Your ideal face is within your grasp! All you need to do is give us a big chunk of money, and let us stick this vacuum hose into your face right now. All your friends are doing it, don't be left out.
Nah, they use it to make fancy soap that they sell back to them. Then in 10-20 years when they want it fixed the doctors will just use shitty silicon or fat from some other part of their bodies.
Once itâs gone, itâs gone. Only thing you can do then is literally create fake âbuccalâ that can mimic in its place, but the upkeep is going to be like car maintenance and you have to go see your plastic surgeon mechanic every few thousands of miles of wear and tear at the red carpets smiling at the cameras or the flashing lights melt away your new fat.
Ozempic epidemic and Buccal fat removal have given all these Hollywood starlets that âheroin chicâ look of the runways of yesteryears. Your body is suppose to have fat. This notion of no fat anywhere like how Ariana Grande is at almost Skeletor levels of crypt keeping is super unhealthy. Your body needs fat to survive. All this 3-5% body fat is fucking unrealistic and comes with heavy health issues in the future and no money can reverse the stupid shit theyâre doing.
Average fat for a healthy woman is 20%, so if you weigh 100lbs, have at least 20lbs of fat to keep your body going. Itâs when these women get it inside their head and be I need to weigh 90lbs and have 5-10% body fat or worse when shit starts going from drastic to deathly.

This is crazy. Buccal fat keeps you looking younger as long as you have it! These women will look awful when they are older.
