It's impossible to find any uniform answer on this. While some claim it shrinks, others claim it even grows? https://drbuccalfat.com/does-chicag...ze-with-age-the-answer-is-a-surprise-to-many/

"The debate over whether the buccal fat pads become bigger or smaller as we age is influenced by how other fat pockets change with time. Many individuals who disagree with the idea of treating buccal fat pads think the surgery is pointless because, as you age, the fat pads will diminish and you will have wasted your money. The experts at Many Faces of Chicago, a renowned cosmetic surgery and face reshaping facility in Chicago, are here to inform you that they are mistaken.

Under the epidermis, superficial fat pads progressively lose volume over time. The superficial fat pads shrink as we age, but they also separate from one another, causing additional facial abnormalities. Dermal fillers or fat are injected into the afflicted region using an external needle insertion to treat these issues.

Incomparably distinct from superficial fat pads are buccal fat pads. In fact, as the patient ages, they enlarge. The buccal fat pads contain a lot of stem cells, they absorb water, and they may last for a long time. By contouring the bottom portion of the face and outlining the cheekbone, the buccal fat pads are removed. As we age, our buccal fat pads actually enlarge rather than shrink."


Is this guy just a giga shill? Do we have any reputable people here who can either confirm or debunk this? (@RealSurgerymax ?)

Buccal fat change over time is nothing compared to superficial fat pad change over time.

the reason people look lean is because they have low superficial pads whether born with lower or lower due to aging (which could happen earlier or later in life)

Buccal fat generally stays somewhat constant over time, although just like superficial fat pads, some people are born with more volume of it than others. Still, facial fullness is due to too many superficial pads. That is why buccal fat removal does do a lot but results are still underwhelming in people with rounder faces with too much genetic superficial fat pads.

I just read it, it's a good thread. Over for people with big fat pads like me.

I still don't know if getting buccal fat removal will even make a difference then. Or if it's a bad idea... mUh hollow cheeks is literally the last thing I need to ascend

Buccal fat removal makes the biggest difference in leaner faces.

For rounder faces it doesn't make as much difference, but it still does A LOT.

I made a thread about this:
What's the difference between superficial/deep fat pads and buccal fat pads? And which fat pads are more detrimental to the lean look?

AFAIK buccal fat is just cheek fat, and lots of Asians have chubby cheeks. Hence the recommendation to get buccal fat surgery. I've also read some literature that buccal fat doesn't degenerate with age as much as superficial and deep fat pads.

As I understand it, buccal fat pads are lodged deeper beneath the dermis than superficial fat pads. The fat in your cheeks you can pinch with your fingers is not buccal fat, it’s superficial fat. That’s why it’s so hard to determine whether you have large buccal fat pads by yourself imo.

Buccal fat is an encapsulated fat pad. It is a deep fat pad.

Superficial fat pads are all over the face, buccal fat pad is generally a few cm and looks like a ball.

I made a thread about this:
just read the thread obv most people agree with asian faces hold more fat on their faces so logically speaking shouldnt they strive to be more leaner? as an Asian single digit body fat is a must

i dont know man, i had thoughts about this too but i am glad i didnt because as i got leaner one of my biggest fears came true, as i got very lean i lost a lot of my buccal fat but i still held onto my molar fat and fat around my mouth so if i had done the surgery it woulda looked very uncanny
