Buccal Fat Removal
In this video we will discuss Buccal fat removal, also known as buccal lipectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves removing excess fat from the cheeks to create a slimmer and more defined facial appearance. It is typically recommended for people who have naturally full cheeks or who have gained weight in the face, leading to a round or chubby appearance.
You can also have partial buccal fat removal:
Which involves the partial removal of the buccal fat pad, The procedure is performed through an incision inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars. Partial buccal fat removal is generally a less invasive procedure than complete buccal fat removal, as it involves removing only a portion of the fat pad rather than the entire pad. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may be done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the preference of the patient and the comfort and recommendation of the surgeon.
Buccal/ bew-cal
Good candidates for buccal fat removal include:
* Adults who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure
* Non-smokers, as smoking can interfere with the healing process
* People with full cheeks or a round facial shape due to excess fat, sometimes due to genetics as well
* People who are unhappy with their facial appearance due to excess cheek fat and are looking for a more defined and contoured facial shape
In this video I will describe a good candidate for buccal fat removal and we will also review celebrities who may have had buccal fat removal and I ‘ll tell you if I feel that the procedure was successful or not successful for them and the reasons for why I say that. I’ll also tell you how to tell if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Some of the celebrities we will discuss will include: Margot Robbie, Chrissy Teigan, Lea Michele, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid and others!.

Girl! You dress so well. Where you buy your clothes?
I made it to my elderly age with a baby face. My thought is that it gives a youthful look, or rather it continues to give a youthful look. Im 75. When ppl speculate on my age, it is ALWAYS 20 years younger. I almost always hear "Whaaaat??" LOL! I think "my youth" comes from fat holding up the structure. I believe had I removed it in youth, I wud look my stated age. I wudnt do this procedure but thats my choice. Some of the girls, when they're my age, may have regrets and want to go back for repair. Yikes! 😉 ⚘❤⚘
Why didn’t you talk about Bella the same way you walked through most of the celebrities? You seemed to throw shady comments about Bella. Be respectful next time otherwise we’re gonna start speculating that you discriminate against her because of her origin.
I think what's scary about this surgery is that once that fat is gone, it's gone forever. So if the result doesn't go the way you wanted, you're basically screwed.
yeah as we age, we want that fat back!
That is the case with most surgeries, though. When you change your nose, it is forever. Even if you augment your breast, which is kind of "reversible," it will not be the same when you remove the implants.
@@cenrich true. Even something as simple as undereye/tear trough filler. Once you put the filler in, stretch the skin, and fill the cavity, it'll look a bit deflated when dissolved.
@@JayneNicoletti It’s one thing to have fat in excess and another to not have enough. Many people look MUCH better after buccal fat removal, otherwise nobody would do it. Aging is another problem entirely.
@@mcxo2774 removal of buccal fat ages people quickly. The reason you want it for later is because your face thins as you age. With the fat there your skin won't start to hang as quickly.
FAT/SOFT TISSUE IS SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURE. Louder for the people in the back. By taking it out you could be taking away facial structure. People don't think of fat this way and it's a problem.
THIS! It applies to a lot of these treatments: fillers, buccal fat, chin implants/reduction, jaw shaving/lengthening, etc.
Facial structure isn't something to take lightly when considering these!
Great comment. Yes!!
She’s wrong… bone are supportive structure not fat, as you age fat is going to pull your face down
She’s wrong… bone are supportive structure not fat, as you age fat is going to pull your face down
I wouldn't have this now anyway, but younger me might have been keen. Lorry's explanation about what cheekbone structure you need for it to look good shows me it would have been a really bad decision. So helpful!
Lea Michele face looks very STRONG now. It’s uncanny. Some people’s facial structure are not meant for plastic surgery trends!
I completely agree!
She looks like handsome squidward.
@@stanliu6885 This is an interesting description I would not have thought of in 1 million years!
I felt like she always had defined cheeks in the first place, I found it strange that she wanted this procedure
@@stanliu6885 omfg
Lorry has such a kind, diplomatic, unjudgmental way of critiquing the ones she shows in her videos. Her kindness is appreciated!
Yes, she always comes across as kind and motherly. Her perspective is unique cos of her lived experience, and needless to say, the production and entertainment value of her videos is up there with the very best on this subject.
Agree you described it super well!
Yes she is classy
If only the people who followed her content were the same way.
Except for the title.. that's a bit harsh 😳
Can confirm just how differently people treat you when you actually look mature. Though I've always been thin, I had a round face until I was about 34, and was chronically mistaken for a teenager. The sheer amount of condescension and dismissal I received was kind of mind-boggling, and it was like a switch flipped when I both quit smoking and hit 35. My face thinned and I finally looked like an adult, and suddenly I was treated with respect and taken seriously. Creepy middle-aged men also quit hitting on me, which was another bonus I had not foreseen. Not being regarded as a piece of meat is fantastic.
😂😂😂 same! I got it last year and I’m 33
Lol.
me too!!!
I’m 28 and still get mistaken for a teenager and I totally sympathize with all of that. I’m the only one of my friends that is actually looking forward to their 30’s and finally aging 😩
What are you doing to de-age?
I find it strange that Leah Michelle was so strongly against getting her nose done for all of those years and then did this. Not even about the surgery or results, just the motives are curious. I wonder if she will ever speak out about this someday.
My thoughts exactly.
Because her nose is a defining feature of her face and changing it would disrupt her ability to be recognized by the public (which will impact her career… think Jennifer Grey’s nose job or Renee Zellwegger’s upper bleph). It would be unwise to touch the nose after becoming famous but it doesn’t mean Leah is anti plastic surgery.
I believe because her nose is tied with her ethnicity but her cheeks are not.
I remember reading a years ago that she didn't want to get surgery on her nose because it might affect her voice. Idk if this is scientifically accurate or not, but I'm pretty sure Barbra Streisand also didn't get a nose job for that reason
she did get that nose done...i wont be fooled
Can you do an update on Selena Gomez? Her eyes look almost pinched to me. Idk if it's from cheek fillers, an eyebrow lift, the cat eye procedure, or something else lol.
Edited to add: I'm a fan of Selena and I'm not hating on her. But regardless, it's obvious she has had work done lol
Edit #2: yes she has lupus and takes meds for it. No, that will not completely change the structure of her face.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean she’s still beautiful of course, but there’s something different.
Thread lifts for days
The video will be bombarded with "you can't have plastic surgery with lupus" which isn't true as long as the patient's lupus is stable.
@@puffball4484 also, so many people defend her and say her lupus and/or meds changed her face shape. Looking a little puffy from weight gain or water retention is not the same as having completely different features lol
@@brittancandela yup. Her nose and eyebrows are clearly surgically altered. But don't tell her fans that 🙄
i mean this as a high compliment, this feels like a video that would be shown in a classroom. very organized and straightforward.
Thank you 🙏🏻
tbh I'm still reeling from how dirty Doja Cat did you. Love you and your videos and I'm glad you have stayed strong and kept giving us this educational content.
Wow I forgot about that, Lorry handled it well because she seems so unbothered.
Why?
I lost a lot of respect for Doja after that. I don’t care for bullies.
same
Doja hasn't been very well....
I just realised that Amelia Hamlin is the same age as my sister (21) yet she's aged herself like 15 years because of the buccal fat removal. I don't mean to sound rude, but Amelia's new face is uncanny and almost a bit scary. Like she has zero resemblance to her previous self
It's also the makeup and eyebrows... Weird
When I saw that after photo cycling around the internet, I assumed she was in her 40s 😭 poor girl.
I was thinking she’s starting to resemble pete burns. I didn’t realise she’s only 21, she looks twice her age, it’s really sad
She honestly looks like someone who had a drug addiction 😥
ive never heard of her until i saw her face come up in the topic of buccal fat removal .. i didnt know she was that young!
I find this to be a very interesting topic, both myself and my daughter were born with excess bucal fat, and we both recieved partial bucal fat removal in infancy to help with obstructed breathing and allow room for our tongues. I say that to say that, we both still look like chipmunks with full cheeks.
How interesting! I haven’t heard of that !
Interesting ! When my twins were preemies the doctors said they had good buccal fat pads which was needed for feeding since it helped with their sucking ability - I can see how too much could also be a problem!
@@mfranck1 babies don't really have much for teeth, so if the cheeks are too big inside their mouths it can make eating hard and push on their tongues. My friend's oldest had to have this operation done as a baby too (and she also still has big cheeks, they only just take out as much as is medically necessary in babies obviously, has absolutely nothing to do with their appearance.)
@Michelle Franck Not for our tongues to sit outside our teeth but to make room for our tongues. If you've ever played the game "Fluffy bunny" with marshmallows, you can get an idea of how excess bucal fat can impact the position of your tongue.
Lol chipmunks 🤣😭 soooo cute !!!
I have a similar face shape to Bella Hadid, and when I was younger I was very self-conscious of the my buccal fat, I wanted my oval face to look more chiseled like the high fashion models. Now, 10-20 years later I have to say I am incredibly thankful for that buccal fat, it makes my face look younger, and eventually my cheeks became more pronounced anyways with age. I get that she did it for her job, and I respect her choice, I would just be cautious about making these decisions when so young.
I also have a similar face shape to Bella. I am 53 and I am thin overall and my cheeks are borderline hollow. What I would give for the same amount of bucal fat I had at 25! I can’t imagine what my face would look like if I had had my buccal fat removed. I do think at some point many of these women will regret having this procedure and there will be some sort of procedure developed to put fat or filler back into that area.
Same here, i had such a round face as a teen, but now that i m 26 i look pretty chisseled and the fat is really evenly distributed throughout my face.
!!!!!
That's so nice to hear! I'm 25 and sometimes I secretly kind of wish I had the means to get just a little of my buccal fat removed. I'd say my face shape is very similar to this as well, and when I don't smile you can definitely see some cheek bone. When I do smile, my whole face turns into the fullest circle though and I always feel it makes me look heavier than I am. I'm happy to hear that as I'll age, my face will likely continue to look more balanced. I've already seen it change a lot from when I was a teen to now, but I like to smile a lot and seeing that specific full moon laugh in pictures often makes me feel insecure.
I had a consultation for this about 6 months ago, but didn’t end up picking a surgical date due to competing priorities. Fast forward until now, and I am SO GLAD I didn’t go through with it. The look this gives is too harsh on most people, and this trend has actually helped me love my softer face. Bullet=dodged!
I have a round face. At times I hate how I look in pictures, but I’ve come to terms that is better to embrace my cubby cheeks than to stress on “imperfection.” I’m 18 and I no longer want to hate myself for obnoxious reasons. Round faces are perfect as well as other face shapes 🫶🏻❤
Edit: thanks for all the kind comments. I feel much better and ready to love my round face 🥰🥹
Yes 🙌
You’re gonna love your round face when you turn 30. I am 34 and most people think i look a bit younger and i think its because my fuller face. 🙂 your fat pads decrease overtime i guess.
@@tatan4939 It's true, my grandma has a rather round face, she's 82 but everyone guesses she's in her late 60s!! And the most beautiful she has ever looked was when she was around 40 to 45, it's true, some faces just get more beautiful with age.
18 is so young. I also always had a round face even though I've always been skinny. But now I "grew into it" and at 30, people think I'm 23-24, and it's thanks to the preserved structure of my face! You're beautiful the way you are 🥰
As someone who had VERY chubby cheeks as a kid, teen, and early adult, you will age out of it gradually. Trust me on this!
The dry mouth consequence is HUGE! I don't know if people realize the amount of discomfort from having your mouth be chronically dry. It is one of the worst feelings in my opinion
I'm not familiar with Amelia Hamlin so I had to look up her age. She's 21. TWENTY ONE. Now I feel terrible for her because she would've got the same look (or perhaps slightly less dramatic) just from ageing, and now she WILL age and can't reverse the procedure.
I was so shocked she looks 39 😮
That’s insane!! I just looked her up and it seems to be working for her since she’s in the modeling industry so I guess that’s why people still opt for it knowing the potential risks, beauty trends are wild 😢
Meanwhile I've always wanted a rounder fattier face, not just because it can look younger but also because it can look more feminine. I really appreciate Lorry pointing out that a more masculine look on women is also ok 💖
Right? I have high cheek bones and a sharp jaw and i have always HATED it. I always wish i had more soft cute round features 😅 tho seeing these celebrities trying to get the bone structure i have does make me feel better i guess
Same but I think many women are very sensitive about it and prefer the term “angular” to masculine.
@@realSimoneCherie For sure ♥️
A couple years ago Buccal Fat Removal was popular in Brazil, and now there's so many videos of influencers saying that they regret it. We are just ahead of the curve, those celebs will chance their minds soon
What surguries are trending now that we're gonna see in a few years?
It depends on the person though and their face Shapes.
@@Babyduzzitbut they dont know how will it look like in few years as they start to age. You might be happy with it today and regret it 5 years later
The saddest transformation is Amelia Hamlin 😢
Just like her mom, her results are not flattering.
She never had a chance with a mother like Lisa Rinna. She probably encouraged her.
It’s very bad…especially at her age. Unreal.
Yup and Lea Michele they really did not need to get it sad
She literally looks like a different person. I'm not familiar with her and seeing the before and after pics is crazy, I never would have guessed they are the same person.
I agree that Margot Robbie aged herself with this procedure. She definitely has a more mature look and it’s getting more prominent as she hits her mid-thirties. It will be interesting to see how she ages.
She already looks ten years older. But then.. She always look more mature, even with 25.
Yeah Margot definitely looks like she's 10 years older due to this procedure. It was unnecessary.
Yeah she is gorgeous and still looks good just more mature. I dont think in her case it was necessary
Dove and the last woman also went from very youthful looking full faces to seemingly 10 years older in the before and after photos
I was waiting for this. I trust the opinion of someone who's openly had work done, specially your wide-eyed perspective, rather than that of someone who's the "omg no surgery natural Beauty and celebs are demons for lying about the stuff they've changed" kind.
I do think it does make a few look OLDER, BUT it depends on a case to case basis as no surgery will give the same result between two individuals. Thats all this peasant can Say.
Haha thank you 🙏🏻
The only one in the list who it doesn't age is selena. But she had an obvious excess of buccal fat.
@@LorryHill What do you think about Agnes RF for removing lower face fat? Is it less risky than this procedure?
I genuinely think they do it for professional reasons at this point! It looks really good on camera.
Also lying about procedures is still bad imo
Sure it's your privacy and you don't have to discuss it either. Why not stick to "I do not want to comment on this topic, please respect that" instead of going to extreme lengths to detail how natural your features are, good genes, you don't care but you use makeup etc :(
I have really full cheeks and I used to hate not having more definition in my face. But seeing this surgery everywhere actually made me appreciate my face shape and youthfulness. My boyfriend even calls me “cheeks.” Because he says they’re cute and loves them.
Surgery as a trend has made me appreciate my natural face that much more.
You can achieve a milder effect with Kybella.
I love how @lorryhill doesn't jump on TH-cam right away to give her opinion. She takes the time to give an informed opinion and stays true to her opinion.
@@mfranck1 they mean she does a scientific research not research other people’s opinions
I agree with a lot of the people criticizing this procedure. You can get the same effect with makeup so why do something so permanent? They looked great before the procedure and yes most look great after but as you said there are future consequences and I don't like that so many are feeling pressured into a short term beauty trend and one strict beauty standard.
Or just losing weight . I lost like 15kg in 4 month just by dieting .
@@Im_Z_4747 even if you loose weight you can still keep a lot of fat in the buccal area, so you can be very slim but still have ‘chubby cheeks. It can be to do with face structure and how your body stores fat. She literally said this in the video, I guess you didn’t watch it…
you can get the effect with make up on photos or videos, in real life contouring looks obvious and fake, this is 3D, I got it done 3 years ago and looks amazing
I honestly think with the exception of 1 or 2 examples, they ALL look worse!
@@Im_Z_4747 If I lost 15kg, I would probably end up in a hospital. If you have genetics to store fat on your face, you can be quite thin (lower end of healthy BMI, yeah I know BMI is not always good, but just to make it clear that I'm not talking about slightly chubby people, but actually thin ones) but still have very round face. Of course probably becoming a heroin/anorexia chick would help but that's a bit much.
From all the youtubers that cover the bucal fat topic, you're the only one that is neutral and logical. The others are just borderline bashing the people who done the procedure.
They are thirsty for view and have not a clue wtf they talking about
agree. That Stefanie girl was just plain mean in her video.
@@frankie9953 yes she was mean in that video!
@@frankie9953 as she should. Grow up.
Being neutral and logical is a fallacy
I feel bad for Lea Michelle becoming the go-to thumbnail for who should not have gotten this done 😭 thanks Lorry for saying your piece about when it can actually work very well because it seems like there’s an unnecessary panic over buccal fat removal lately and people just need to be educated in the dos and donts. Good to know I look so young still in my mid 30s because of my prominent buccal fat, but fortunately I like how I look because I definitely don’t have the cheekbones for this 🌝
Lea Michele has so many bullying claims against her. People in the know say she is a very mean person & put others and their appearance down. I wonder if this is a case of karma coming back around.
Ideas for celebrity analyses in case you're ever out of ideas:

Love your content, btw!
also Vanessa Hudgens and Sarah Hyland
Emily blunt!
Hi Lorry! Could you please do a video about Fran Drescher? She looks like a spectacular mature woman, somehow managing to look young and keeping her natural features unchanged... still looking her age! Thanks ❤️ .
I saw her in person years ago at yoga and shes stunning and so sweet
I love Fran!
Crazy how good she still looks right? I think MAYBE just botox but nothing permanent.
Fran! Yes
Fran is also open about plastic surgery iirc
It's so common now to see a celebrity who doesn't have very prominent cheekbones show up with an inexplicable trench running through their cheeks, I'm wondering especially about Anya Taylor Joy because her face seemed to change quite drastically and the trench is so noticeable, like someone tied a rope around her head and pulled it very tight until there was a permanent indentation.
I agree. Keen to see what you think @lorry hill
I thought it was just me who thought that
I was wondering about Anya Taylor Joy too because nobody talking about buccal fat removal has mentioned her, but it looks a lot like she had it… and from some angles it makes her face look a little odd to me.
@@emilymacdougall184 I think she had something done to her brows and eyes too. Her face looks pulled back.
I thought it was from an over aggressive face lift. Love these videos
Lorry, I am so thankful for you making all these videos and educating people on plastic surgery. I have body dysmorphia and ever since I was like 10, I've had a whole list of plastic surgeries I wanted to get done. I know if I had went ahead with it, I would've made a huge mistake. After watching your videos, I've realized I don't want all that surgery. I'm fine the way I am. I appreciate you being so open about your own surgeries as well.
I love what you said that we assume that everyone wants to look younger, but that might not be the case for some people. I really never thought of it this way, and that makes me reflect a little bit on the matter.
❤️👍🏻
Absolutely. Not everyone has the same beauty goals
i used to be so insecure of my rather round shaped face bc it had no definition. i wanted to have prominent cheekbones. however, as i aged, my facial fat gradually disappeared and now my hidden cheekbones are slightly prominent. i rlly think it's the best move not to get surgery at an age when u are still developing bc u never know how ur face is gonna turn out, and buccal fat removal is one of those procedures ppl should be a bit cautious with bc they might not like the results in the long term if they get it a little too early in their life or if they're not a good candidate.
as long as I get mistaken for a child, I don't have to pay as much for food, movie tickets, etc... so I'm keeping mine lol :)
I got it done 5 years ago, and although i do look older and sometimes if im not wearing makeup it does look a bit aging, i don't regret it. I got it done with the right person. And what he told me was that i have good cheekbone projection from bone, so i believe your theory is right. If you don't have a naturally forward projected cheek (from bone) your face just looks flat in the upper cheek area! I think this is very evident from the pictures you showed as well... The most important thing in plastic surgery is not the procedure but the surgeon!!!
What a great comment ! Glad to hear that a surgeon said this as well!
Dove's face was literally perfect before (during her Descendants era.)
Thank you for giving a different perspective. I just had this done, not because it was a fad, but because I was a good candidate and it was something I had considered for a few years now. I was a little bummed to see the negative attention it was getting lately, so it is refreshing to hear you explain why people might consider the procedure. Being taken more seriously and viewed as more mature/their actual age is an underrepresented insecurity for some!!! ❤
So happy for you !
Are you glad you had it done? I want to get my buccal fat removed!
I got it done at 23, Im 26 now and i'm still loving my results, best decision ever, this video is very informative and accurate, most videos on tiktok don't know what they are talking about.
Gurl. Same!!! I love it!
@@ElenaRocanlover Oh that is so good to know!!
That procedure was trendy in Brazil around influencers about like 6 years ago ._. some had problems after and regret it and mostly was dentists doing it
Growing up I always had a fuller face, and even in photos my face looks very full still, however as I've entered my mid to late 20's I've started noticing fat loss in my face and honestly it makes me so sad. I'm going to miss my chubby cheeks one day for sure! They do make you look more youthful and healthy imo.
So it's wrong for women looking mature? 🤔
me too!
@@whygzty6108oh stop picking and poking - that's not what OP said. stop being pedantic. let a woman talk positively about herself.
When I was a teenager, Lea Michelle was still on glee and I actually looked to her a lot in terms of learning to love the way I looked. My mom is a Sephardi Jew born in Morocco with roots in Spain (the Jewish community had to flee Spain a long time ago), and my dad’s parents were Slovak immigrants. I saw myself and my mother in Lea when I was young- a very strong jaw and nose, and the same coloring. I was very self conscious about my jaw and my nose and her presence on such a popular show actually made me start to love those parts of myself. So I do think I understand why she got the procedure done when traditionally, emphasizing a strong jaw may result in a look more associated with masculinity and hardness lol. She probably really loves her strong jaw, as I love mine! I just LOVE a strong jaw on a woman lol! What I will say, is that my mother never got her buccal fat removed and I think that has played a big part in my people always say she looks so young. She’s 53 and the definition in her face is really quite striking yet she still has this youthfulness that, after watching this video, I can say is at least partially due to her buccal fat. If she had done this in the past she would definitely not look as young today. THAT BEING SAID- I think my mom looks better the older she looks and it makes me hope that one day, society won’t tie beauty so strongly to the appearance of age. So women (myself included) don’t have to feel so anxious about getting older.
im sephardic🤎
My girl Anya Taylor Joy looks gaunt now. I believe she got this procedure done too
Yeah I noticed that too
I love my round face!! I used to think my cheeks were too round until people like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid became beauty icons in the 2010s.
So on the one hand I understand the celebrity influence on younger people because it affected me too. On the other hand I hope this trend doesn't make anyone feel bad about their natural cheeks.
Round faces are super cute and we age like fine wine; I hope people go for this procedure because they like the look it gives, not because the trend created an insecurity
My face is full naturally and I have dropped down to my lowest weight to see my body change and nearly everything except my face, I was so disappointed and confused. When this surgery started to become popular it made me a little more unhappy with my appearance as all the weight I lost I still looked the same on the face. Seeing this video has helped me feel better about not having a well sculpted appearance. Thank you
I would love to see your take on Lily-Rose Depp and her face. She has always looked natural to me but after seeing videos of buccal fat removal I am not so sure anymore.
Didn’t her dad have the same look in his youth? Maybe it’s just genetics.
Dad AND mom have very chiseled cheekbones. Might be natural
I second this! She had a v chubby face as a child but now her cheeks look amazing amd natural. Would love a video on her
It’s crazy how in how of this women the removals adds/enhance their face and for others it COMPLETELY CHANGES THEIR FACE!
Bella and Dove again, they are like regulars to this channel.
I get it that a sharper face might get models and actors more opportunities but we shouldn’t compare themselves to them and change our faces just to fit in the current trend on instagram. It’s sad that so many young beautiful girls are getting sucked out of their vitality for the sake of having a sharp angle. I almost did the procedure but realized that true confidence comes from a light within which no plastic surgery can give you
I just recently binge-watched your entire celebrity playlist and I was surprised how often you listed potential buccal fat removal procedures amongst the alleged procedures each celebrity may have had done. a lot of videos about the buccal fat removal trend make it seem like its a new procedure thats only done for the trend, but clearly it isnt.
I’ve had buccal fat removal and I couldn’t be happier. I genetically stored a lot of fat in my face. Even at my lowest weight I had a lot of fat in my face. My parents both still have chubby cheeks but not like mine. I had so much I chewed on the inside of my cheek and I had a build up of scar tissue! 5 mg was removed from each cheek when the average is 2 mg from each. I still have a round face and I still look like myself but just more refined. I loved this procedure and it’s interesting to see people say it’s the worst possible thing anyone can do lol!
Mg?! Don't you mean g?
hi! tomorrow i'm doing it, are you still happy with your results? and at what age you had it done? i'm 22, and i have a very round face but all these negative comments make me very nervous
@@kit196 hi!! Sorry to reply late, i hope your procedure went well! I still love my results. I would be happy to send you my before and afters if you want! Don’t be spooked by all of this, people jump on a hate train lol! I’m super happy with the way i look. I don’t look gaunt at all, i just don’t look swollen or inflamed like how i looked before my procedure. Please lmk if you’d like to see my pics!
@@juallee2711 I’d like to see please 😅
It's so fascinating to me how much trends of beauty changes and how much so many of us want what we don't have. I have a long face with no chub in my cheeks and have always wished I had a beautiful round face. I used to be so envious of people with round faces and full cheeks.
❤️👍🏻
No you don't. I always look bloated af and have a low sodium diet. Not even overweight.
Remember that as you age, you lose fat from your face. When I hit 30, I started to lose that puppy fat on my face. People thought that I'd lost a lot of weight, but I hadn't, it was just that my face thinned out naturally. I think it looks fantastic! I love the structured, angular look that natural aging has given me. My cheekbones look a lot more prominent. So just take into account the fact that you may lose fat on your face, before getting this procedure. Also consider your face shape. I have a long, narrow face, which could easily look gaunt and hollow if more fat was removed. Something to keep in mind.
Super informative without being judgey. When I first started watching you I couldn’t tell if you were more than just your pretty surface. Over time, I’ve seen how detailed your research is and how you can present information in a nonjudgmental way that sometimes even plastic surgeons on YT haven’t mastered. Make no mistake, this isn’t a vapid, narcissistic channel meant to make you feel bad about yourself. It’s a friend who’s been around the surgical block who can help you work through the decision to go under the knife. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much 😊
in mexico this surgery has been in trend since many years ago, i mean it was very normalized wanting to have a "bichectomia", i also was very surprised that people, at least in the us, started calling it a "new trend"
verdad?? mi amiga se la hizo en el 2018 jaja
Based on the pictures you shared the only one that I think turned out truly phenomenal was Selena Gomez. Margo Robbie's was my choice for runner up, and I think she may have just had a slight reduction to the buccal fat if she did have this procedure.
I really appreciate this video because a lot of the other videos i have seen from other youtuber commentaries pretty much insult people for wanting the procedure and it just feels so mean spirited instead of trying to understand why someone would want the procedure. Very excellebt neutral video ❤️
Thanks so much !
Exactly!
I'm 66 now had it done in early 30s . Made my cheek bones look much higher. Never been sorry I did it. He was conservative I would have liked a little more.
Spot on, as usual, Lorry! I appreciate your willingness to speak on the topic of plastic surgery and doing so with so much grace and kindness. I truly respect you for that.
I love this format! I feel like this is so beneficial for people to figure out if they want to get a specific procedure done.
Celebrities are out here looking like handsome Squidward with this procedure lmao
Love how in-depth this is! Also how kind and respectful you are (as always)
its so nice you're willing to be kind and thoughtful to people even though you have a large audience, it gets hard to remember people are just people sometimes, especially when they are famous
I have a lot of facial fat and not prominent bone structure. This means that I look a lot different when my face is relaxed VS smiling. I think its an added perk that I can look serious and even scary if I want to, and cherub-like and innocent when I smile. Its fun to be able to have many expressions
I have the same thing! It's funny you mention that. I have cute round cheeks when I smile, but they disappear when I'm not and I can look intimidating if I need to
I’ve watched so many videos on this topic and hands down you are the BEST! Thank you for explaining who would be a great candidate vs who wouldn’t… this is why I trust you ❤️
Glad it was helpful! Thank you !
@@LorryHill
Lori can you please make a video about Taylor Swift? She looks so different to me idkw
I think you did an excellent job explaining this procedure with pros and cons. You have done a better job at explaining than other plastic surgeons videos I’ve seen. I mean they do a job job too, but you just explain things in a more realistic and understandable way. Thank you!
You should do Anya Taylor Joy. She def has also done buccal fat removal as well and some other procedures.
Next video
It definitely gave Leah Michelle the handsome squidward aesthetic.
Dang sounds like there’s a potential gold mine in inventing a way to “reverse” buccal fat removal.
I wonder if Selna coul have aged like Monica Belluci if she'd kept her buccal fat. Monica's peak beauty was in her 30s and went well into the mid fourties because of her excellent facial structure and padding.
has jenna ortega had buccal fat removal? i would love to see a video on her. great analysis as always!❤
I’ve been wondering that too! Although from pictures of when she was a kid, she does seem to already have a bit of a dent on the side of her cheeks, I think she’s got great bone structure.
She’s only 20 I doubt it at all.
@@ZacharyBoi At 20 Kylie was already going crazy tho ✂️💉 In this day and age a lot of young celebrities in their early and mid twenties are having lots of procedures. Look at Bella Hadid or Dove Cameron. It’s definitely a new trend. In the 90s or early 00s people weren’t getting that many procedures that young.
@@lolaluftnagel8251so true! not to be rude or anything, but can’t always doubt! anything can be possible nowadays! and my comment is not meant to say jenna isn’t natural 🤎
@@lolaluftnagel8251 so true. It’s actually surprising how many celebrities actually start getting procedures done in their teens so that they can “grow into” the look without people noticing they had surgery done. Lorry has covered a few of these situations on her channel.
Thank you for your kind approach as always! This topic is all I see on my socials and it's filled with inconsiderate comments towards people who got this procedure. They want to prove a point of how we shouldn't allow social media to dictate our looks, but the way they are going about it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I can't imagine what someone who spent the time and money must feel like seeing all of that.
This is by far THE BEST video covering this topic. Very informative, as always! 🙌🏾👏🏾
This is such a great video on this procedure. I love how you showed multiple people who have had undergone this procedure along with their before and after photos. Your commentary is not only objective, but kind. Thank you, keep doing what you are doing. You definitely helped me with this video.
wow, of all the videos i've seen talking about buccal fat removal yours is so much kinder, open minded, and not at all judgemental ❤ this would really help people who would consider this procedure make better decisions.
I appreciate Lorry for coming through with such an educational and unbiased video. When I first noticed the trend, I thought everyone was starting to look older but now I realize that some women don't want to have child like features way into their late 20's- early 30's, esp. For someone who works as an actor and wants more serious roles.
Was waiting to hear Lorry’s take on this! I appreciate this format of video, hope she does more procedure-focused videos like this in the future
same! super informative and helpful to use various celebrities as an example of good/bad candidates 👍🏼
Everyone looks so much more beautiful in the before pics.
Life long dry mouth sounds so scary 😰
I know this is cliche, but …. They all looked great before! It’s too bad they felt the need to change their faces this way.
I agree this procedure made everyone look worse
I really appreciate the format you used for this video. You not only broke down the procedure, but who's a good candidate, and what to look for in a surgeon. Very helpful and enjoyable as always!
Aww thanks so much !!
17:25 amazing before-after photo comparison! Not only can you PRECISELY see the original buccal fat pad, but also all her other procedures
Yes! Zoe was/is so beautiful, I noticed in this photo that her ears look a full inch or more longer than they used to. I wonder what caused this and I don’t think Lorry said she’s had a full facelift, or even if that would cause such a result. She looks more like Lisa than Lenny post-procedures. I think she was “perfect” before but obviously my opinion is not relevant to the way she feels about herself.
Lorry, can you please make a video about how to tell what kind of cheek bones, face shape, etc. you have? The way to explained how to check your buccal fat area really resonated with me, but i can't tell if my cheekbones are bones or just fat 🤣 (not trying to get a surgery, but i find it very interesting!)
Amazing video!! Clearly well-researched and well thought out. Thank you ❤
you're so right about the need for prominent cheekbones for this to work!
Yess!
It really seems like everything that is done to the face including very simple non surgical shots, etc are non reversible. I have seen so many friends faces destroyed and they are not even 30! It's just so sad. The lip injections don't ever actually go away. They stuff that gets injected ( no matter what it is) just makes the lips eventually sag. Then the surgery to lift the corners comes in but that has side effects too. It's just so sad to see everyone with face number 15. The guy from the twilight zone predicted this would happen. He was right!
I agree, filler is not always “dissolved” successfully
I respect your beauty *so much more* because you've done what it takes to keep it! Thanks for being so honest!♥️
Thank you Lorry for making a more comprehensive video on this topic. Ive been so tired of seeing every TH-camr jump on the buccal fat bandwagon and have nothing of educational value to say about it. Only that they don’t understand it or “they ruined their face!” Or “look how wacky this trend is”. While I definitely think its not a surgery for many, it still has it’s successes. People just need to be aware whether on not they are the correct candidates, and many really aren’t.
I’m one of those childlike faces(at42). And I had this done. Thank you for stating this diplomatically. Some
Of us have prominent cheeks what would benefit from being…..reduced ❤
Thank you for this video! Finally, the take that's been missing from this conversation. It does worry me to see so many people with average facial volume now getting buccal fat removal. But I actually did get my buccal fat removed a few years ago, and I'm honestly grateful for it every day. My face now looks unremarkable and age-appropriate, NOT chiseled or hollow. Like, my face POST-surgery looks like these celebrities PRE-surgery. Which is exactly what I wanted.
I think the most important thing is looking at how my family members aged. Most people with full faces lose that volume in their 40s... not in my fam! Even up to their 90s(!), their cheeks stay very full but sag and become jowls. I always had very puffy lower cheeks. My whole life, people would comment on my cheeks, pinch them, assume I was much younger (which affected my professional life), and my face did not match my body, which is naturally slim. From the time I can remember, I hated that my cheeks had that lower puffiness, and I was self conscious every minute of the day.
My point is, there are actual candidates for this procedure, done in the right hands. But if you have average cheeks, and you just want that hollowed-out look because it's hot right now and the celebs are doing it... don't. And obviously make sure you're going to a good surgeon with credentials and experience and be aware of the risks (as with any surgery). It's definitely not something to take lightly, as it is permanent.
Your analyses are always so informative, honest, thoughtful, and kind. *Thank you.*
You are so welcome
Extremely informative, Lori! This topic just about cracks me up because I used to have a VERY slim, narrow face (both jawline and buccal area) when I was younger. It was what is now described as a v-shape jawline. Well, it always used to drive me CRAZY how "skinny" my face was. I feel like the most popular celebs back then were full-faced beauties. Nowadays my face is a bit fuller and the v-shape and hollowed buccal area are all the rage. Isn't that always the way?!
Generally, I like the fuller faces and think that the buccal fat removal usually doesn't achieve a natural look (rather like filler can't easily "create" natural looking cheekbones. I think Emrata looked significantly more beautiful before BFR. Just my humble opinion.
Leah's face is straight up scaring me. Like girl, you can get all the surgery you want but you're not supposed to make it obvious.
Lorry you're so kind. No judgment and so much beauty on your channel. Your looking less swollen and absolutely gorgeous 😍
Lorry, your voice really helps me be calm and takes me away from my daily struggles. Thank you.
The quality of your videos is insane !!! I mean the you research and present the information!
I appreciate that! 🥰
Woah thanks so much for sharing my patient’s before & after results! I can tell this was well researched and very well done video. Subscribed!
Hi Doctor ! Great work !! Thanks so much !
I just love Lorry's voice. She could be talking about *literally* anything!
As usual, a very well-thought-out video with lots of information. Thank you Lorry!
This is thorough. You’re scientific with your knowledge I love that
Great video as always lorry. Not jumping on a hate train and giving an objective view. Thank you 🙏
A lot of people hopped on the trend of the negatives of this surgery but it’s so nice to hear you talk more about it! I don’t find some of these drama channels as reliable sources for plastic surgery information
