Providing that you are legally old enough to have surgery, there isn’t a set limit on what age you should undergo buccal fat removal. Between the ages of 20-35, the majority of people will begin to notice that they are losing fat on their faces naturally. If the buccal fat pads are removed prematurely, it can cause an unhealthy appearance for the face. During a consultation, the surgeon will work with you to discuss your options and will let you know if it is an appropriate treatment for you.
