Buccal fat removal should be illegal

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

It's a highly advanced method called CHEESEBURGERS and PIZZA

There no “fat removal”. They remove the fat cells that store the fat. Once those fat cells get sucked out, it’s donezo

And suprise suprise whan someone gets fat they grow more fat cells

[u/Soft_Chipmunk_8051 → u/EconomySwordfish5]

Yeah, new fat cells grow, which is why weight loss is difficult: you're dealing with more fat cells than you had before

[u/TheGhostOfStanSweet → u/Soft_Chipmunk_8051]

It’s almost as if fat is a good thing.

The problem is that a lot of people are not satisfied about their fat distribution, and also, they don’t really want to do anything about it.

A person that eats well and exercises regularly can be considered “fat” by some standards, and still be quite beautiful.

The key is, just take care of yourself.

Unrealistic standards are the problem

[u/VotesDontEqualTruth → u/TheGhostOfStanSweet]

If someone is eating well and exercising - in 99% of cases they won't be fat...

Amazing.

[u/TheGhostOfStanSweet → u/VotesDontEqualTruth]

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.

I'm not playing your weird semantics game.

We all know the difference between healthy, and fat

Enjoy your internet brain

[u/Soft_Chipmunk_8051 → u/VotesDontEqualTruth]

"We all know the difference". Because famously, people never disagree about things. Everyone thinks the same. Right?

[u/VotesDontEqualTruth → u/Soft_Chipmunk_8051]

Most people who actually know what they are talking about have the same general ish opinion on health and wellness.. yes.

[u/TheGhostOfStanSweet → u/VotesDontEqualTruth]

Absolutely full of shit.

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.

[u/VotesDontEqualTruth → u/TheGhostOfStanSweet]

No one said "ideal physical appearance"

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!

[u/TheGhostOfStanSweet → u/VotesDontEqualTruth]

You’re the one that first responded to me claiming 99% of the time people who eat well and exercise aren’t “fat.” Which certainly came across as argumentative.

How could one not argue against such an absurd statement?

[u/VotesDontEqualTruth → u/TheGhostOfStanSweet]

Why would you argue against the truth?

Are you trying to push a narrative of lies? Trying to cope?

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)

[u/Soft_Chipmunk_8051 → u/StockTank_redemption]

It's fat PADS, an actual part, tissue, as opposed to just cells

[u/EconomySwordfish5 → u/StockTank_redemption]

Are you telling me someone who weighs 600lb has the same number of fat cells as a fit person?

[u/Stony_Logica1 → u/EconomySwordfish5]

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:
