Dr. Maas Weighs In on This Trending Procedure for InStyle Magazine
When Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram in September 2021 to announce she had undergone buccal fat removal, she set the internet alight. Magazines, blogs and social media commentators quickly picked up the story, launching this already-trending procedure further into the spotlight.
What exactly is buccal fat? And why is removing it the new sought-after celebrity treatment?
Defined cheekbones are considered a sign of beauty in many cultures. While some people achieve sky-high cheekbones with contouring makeup techniques or social media filters, others look for longer-lasting solutions.
Cheek fillers are a popular, but temporary, way to accentuate the cheeks and cheekbones. Patients seeking permanent results may turn to fat transfer or implants to give their cheeks a boost. Whether surgical or nonsurgical, what these procedures have in common is that they highlight the cheeks by adding volume.
Buccal fat pad removal takes a different approach. It accentuates the cheeks by removing volume, making it an ideal choice for those with “baby faces” or “chipmunk cheeks” who desire more definition.
Dr. Maas recently contributed his expertise on buccal fat removal surgery to an article for InStyle magazine.
