Are you guys having any specials going on for the holidays for this procedure or for Submental Lipo?
I think there is a special when you combine them!
is it true that it may take 6 month to a year for total healing? Removal of entire buccal pad.
hello Doctor, how much is the procedure?
I have been thinking about this procedure for years. Are there any doctors you recommend in the Austin TX area?
Don’t do it makes you look older
Where are you located
Does After removal of upper wisdom teeth the face on that side becomes slim if 2 month past andsomewhat bit in inner cheek then what to do...
Doctor is so handsome. 😊
Hey Dr.Patel, I was wondering how much buccal fat pad does each person have on average? I got a size of a quarter taken out of each cheek but I still feel like there could have been more that was removed. I'd like for all of the fat pad to be removed 100% so I can achieve more of a hollow look. Thanks
Raymond Z you would need an MRI to see how much and where the fat is. I’ve taken out 1.5cc to 7cc of fat per side so each person varies. The amount usually can best be predicted by age, ethnicity, gender and exam. (Ie consult) hope that helps!
Is it true that not on both sides we have buccal fat?
do you know anyone in chicago you would recommend for this procedure?
Sam Acc. Dr Otto placik In dowtown Chicago
Cynthia 15 what about DC ?
Loute 007 no idea
Are you guys located in Houston?
Meg Megishere we are in Beverly Hills!
Sagar Patel awwww I was hoping you guys where down here , we’ll do you know any good ones down in Houston, I’m 15 and have a baby face . Thank you !
Meg Megishere I trained in Houston w Dr Russell Kridel. He is amazing!!!
Can buccal me fully removed to get hollow cheeks
When will you guys open up your office again ?
Britt Josephine we’re open!!
I wanna get it done because of my big cheeks making me "baby face". However, I am a male, and you have mostly female patients. Is this going to make my face more masculine? I do have a decent jawline and little bit of cheek bones.
on the contrary. 25% of the patients for BFR are men! It will make it look more mature. The baby cheeks make you look "cute" whereas many men want to look "handsome" so they get the procedure.
@@SPAFacialPlastics Do you think Sagar Sculpting will look good on males? I asking cause someone I knew got fillers for his cheek bones, but it made him look feminine. It discouraged me for going filler route..
do you do this for an older face? I have lost volume except buccal. chipmunk is right! does the older face sag if you remove it?
Could you please answer? I have same question. I always had chipmunk buccal fat even when skinny. Now as an older woman..still have it. My skin is young and firm for my age. Would I need an extra procedure if I got buccal fat removal? It's frustrating because this buccal fat minimizes the cheekbones I have.
Good Question. I’m in the same boat
Hey, I had a consult today with a surgeon and she said that buccal fat pad removal will not make you look gaunt in your face when you age. She said that had to do with your bone structure and only your cheekbone fat with lose volume when getting older. I believe she is very well trained, but you are also and you say the opposite so what could you maybe further explain it. Also my face is a more u vorm on one side Will buccal fat pad removal make this symmetrical. And when you smile will it make no difference at all. And in this consult was told to me that you could not remove a part of the buccal fat pad but that you had to remove it all
Sarah Kohen it doesn’t make everyone look gaunt. It will make your face look skinnier. If when you are old your face is very skinny it will make it look even skinnier. I agree with that surgeon that there is no issue there. You totally can do a partial removal. I rarely do that however.
@@SPAFacialPlastics thankyou very much ! One thing is it true that without that buccal fat your cheekbone fat will lower sooner because your buccal fat isn't there for support anymore.
Sarah Kohen I don’t think it provides much support. It has no connection to the skin. The skin is what needs support. The zygomaticocutaneous ligament is what provided the support and is recreated in a facelift. When we do facelifts we don’t add buccal fat...in fact many surgeons like myself remove it during a facelift
@@SPAFacialPlastics thankyou very much this makes me feel a lot better !
Hello Dr. Patel, thanks for the informative video! I've a general question: if someone has big masseter muscle and not a sharp mandibular angle (so think of a face not chiseled, somewhat broad and not having a sharp jaw angle), will buccal fat removal help him aesthetically? I'm thinking of this procedure but I've masseter hypertrophy (for which I do botox) and my mandibular angle isn't prominent. Thanks in advance!
Susovan PAL this is where the is a lot of confusion about botox for the massager. It should soften the angle and make it narrower. It does not make it sharper. Buccal fat removal will barrow the area Infront of this which can narrow and define a face further.
Seems to be that your underlying issue is that your gonions are tilted inward and the position of your masseter muscles might be sitting on top of the gonions instead of having outward tilted gonions that would create a “pocket” so to speak which would allow the masseter muscles to sit lower, being positioned directly at the bottom of the gonions
@@bumba8154 Thanks - that seems informative. Could you please explain a bit further? I'm not familiar with the medical terminologies like gonions, so I looked it up, but still couldn't totally comprehend what you stated - I'm sure it's a valuable piece of information!
@@susovan97 your gonions are the edgy pieces of bone under your ear. The gonions are the bony angle that are at the bottom of the ramus. Look up Ramus and Gonial angle
You know the edge of your jawline next to your neck? Feel where your masseter muscles are and take one finger and you should feel bone, kind of pointy
How much is this procedure? I livs in LA and have been wanting to get this done for the longest.

Does it really make such a big of a difference 🤔
Yes it does it’s removing fat
On the thumbnail the after pic makes her hair color change
Will this cause droopy skin? Thanks for answering!
sibei tang I don’t believe it does. It might make you look thinner when you are older but the fat is not attached to the skin so it shouldn’t affect it at all in my opinion
Thanks for reply. Some said the buccal fat pad is a good support for the other tissues and fat pad of the face. So that's why i am wondering whether this will case aging and sagging.
I have dimples on both sides. Will I lose them after the buccal surgery? 😅
Nope! I just had done bichectomy and I didn’t loose my dimple. Apparently the dimples have to do with the muscles of the face, not the fat.
@@alexandrabaltaru8347 Ok. Thank you. Hope it all went well after the surgery.
@@phoebemah9980 So far so good, thank you. Still a bit swollen and bit bruised but it’s been only 2 weeks since rhinoplasty and bichectomy. So waiting for the results to finally be visible. Now I am a mix between a piggy and a hamster 😅
@@alexandrabaltaru8347 damn you got really good dimples, I only have one small one lol
I might just book a vacation to your location! Why not?!

Deb Long Island you wont regret it, he’s amazing!
LA Girl thanks! 🙏 😀
How will I look when I get older without the buccal fat? Will I get a saggy cheek look as I age?
Take a look at Maggot Robbie, Bella Hadid and Hailie Baldwind. They got them removed at their early 20's or something close. They still look gorgeous even a couple years later. Looking older than you age is fine too. Looking younger as always been a problem for me. 🤷 it depends if you prefer a mature look. It sure will "sink" a little bit more but it's something I always dig. Especially on a girl who live in Quebec who has that naturally. She's gorgeous as fuck. 😍😍😍
@@Veeolet-Luv after Chrissy tegen got it done her face became so angular. I don’t think she looks bad, but she definitely looks more mature
Are there any other alternatives to this process?
İrem Aktaş no other way to remove or decrease the buccal fat pad as of now. For most dieting will not burn buccal fat unless you enter a ketogenic state

What is the music?
