Buccal fat removal has been the talk of the town recently since Glee star Lea Michele posted a selfie of her on Instagram where her face had a hollow appearance between the cheekbones and jawbones.

In mid-December 2022, the trend of buccal fat has been spreading like wildfire, and the hashtags are receiving millions of views. #BuccalFat has gained over 48.4 million views, #BuccalFatRemoval has amassed more than 135.5 million views, and #BuccalFatPadRevol has 5.1 million views.

People want to undergo the procedure to achieve certain beauty standards. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, he has been doing the procedures three times more than he did five years ago.

People have been filming their procedures and uploading them on the platform, and they have been providing positive reviews on the surgery, but there are certain drawbacks as well.

According to Dr. Steven Pearlman, we tend to lose fat in the midface as we age, and when we remove the fat at a young age, we might look gaunt when we start aging.

As per the news presented by NBC, TikTok users are using hashtags to dissolve the trend. They have been mentioning that if there is no positivity regarding fuller cheeks, then people will see the negativity and undergo the surgery.

Not only on TikTok, but people also tweeted positive tweets regarding buccal fat. One user wrote, "Buccal fat removal? No, I like my round face, thanks."
