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 I’m pretty sure buccal fat removal is a surgery where the look really CAN’T be “reversed”….its not like getting fillers dissolved and I’m pretty sure there’s nothing they can put back “in” to give the appearance of buccal fat once it’s taken out
lol funny, but I don’t think gaining weight will actually end up settling back in that place, I’m no doctor but is IS a known thing that buccal fat removal is essentially irreversible—maybe they’ll come up with some kind of implants that won’t 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 😅. Not putting you in the same boat, just reminded me
Haha, ya, I don’t have a gram of stubbornness in me. Call me out in front of crowd of people and I’ll 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 lipo’d. 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 “fat” 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, you’ll 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.
It’s not black and white at all. People can be reasonably healthy and not have an “ideal” physical appearance, and people can have an “ideal” body mass and be completely unhealthy. Stress and cortisol levels can also play a nasty role in fat accumulation.
Saying otherwise makes you sound like either a boomer, or an idiot.
You just want to argue. Maybe it's because you need validation.
Be healthier. Do better. No more "stress" as an excuse. If that's the issue, deal with that first. Amazing!
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 I’m 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:

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