I do not have experience with Vaser in the face but in general, energy-based treatments should not go deeper than subcutaneous fat to avoid collateral damage to nearby structures. I also favor bipolar energy devices because you can control the direction of energy transmission.
I feel like non-surgical alternatives are almost never a better option. Another good example is it’s so much better to get a one time rhinoplasty from a good doctor rather than multiple injections every few months. It’s crazy the lengths ppl go to (probably with misconceptions) to avoid surgery just because they have some weird connotation surgery is bad. Like getting neck fat dissolved with a hundred injections instead of just getting liposuction.
non surgical rhinoplasty is a cheaper option and also a way for patients to see the difference, the recovery time is also minimal. I am thinking about doing it however if i can just get filler to sort out my asymmetrical nose then i will try filler first.
Hey doctor, How would a buccal fat removal affect a face when smiling? For instance, the beautiful Taylor swift doesn’t necessarily have “big cheeks” when she’s not smiling but just more a round face/shorter face-at least from my untrained eye. But how would a surgery, say on someone like Taylor Swift, affect the look of the face when smiling? Would the removal be more apparent? Right now she has a cute small smile, would it maybe look her smile look wider in comparison? I ask because I dislike how my cheeks look like only when smile, they’re asymmetrical and just wider than I’d prefer, could this be a good option for me? Or something else?
You’d really need to be examined to answer this question but in many cases removing the fat pads is subtle at rest but helps with smile. Sometimes, during a smile, the pads are more apparent than at rest.
@@jonathanzelkenmd Hi doctor do you recommend kybella for jowls and buccal fat? My Dr recommended kybella for my jowls as I’m not ready for a facelift please advise 🙏🏽
i have more facial fat on one side of the fact apposed to the other, would buccal fat removal be a good option for the bigger side to remove the fat? my face is asymmetrical and bigger on the one side
If I get face thighting first because my cheeks are kind of loose but I do get some improvements some not enough can 6 mths after can I get it done again and also get the buccal fat removal..Example ;; if I see better improvement after healing 1 year later or 2 years if gain weight or get pregnant can I do face thighting again???
Excellent video, this is what we need to know the truth!!
No problem
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Does the skin contract enough after the Buccal fat pad removal, or it becomes saggy due to having an empty space, like a deflated balloon?
What about vaser lipo in face?

No tbh anybody that says it can is lying.

Right! It's like why go through all that when they can just remove it directly & get better results.

How much time does it take to be in normal shape after removing buccal fat??
Depends, but many people go back to work the next day and look normal “enough” by a week or so.
Do you rate Endolift or is that the same as facetite?
I have never heard of it.
Will buccal fat removal erase or cause my dimples to disappear????
Not necessarily. I would say it’s unlikely but possible.

I would really need to examine you in person to answer your question. But it is possible.

Is it possible?
Not that I’m aware of
Can Kybella injections target buccal fat pads? If not, are Kybella injections effective for subcutaneous cheek fat?
I would absolutely not recommend this
This method doesn't work. I wasted money doing this. Only thing Kybella can do is reduce some fat in the face but not the buccal fat.
Surgery main problem - price
I understand
@@jonathanzelkenmd Any alternatives?
What about using hifu?
If you don’t want us to do it just say that😒 I’ll see you next month
