TikTok’s latest cosmetic surgery trend is buccal fat removal — a procedure that removes fat padding from a person’s face, in turn removing some of its roundness.
Celebrities like Chrissy Teigen have confirmed having the work done. Others are rumored to have had it done but are staying quiet.
The procedure represents the latest plastic surgery craze on TikTok, with hundreds of millions of views listed under the hashtag #BuccalFatRemoval. Plastic surgeons in favor say it’s a quick procedure that targets an area of insecurity for some.
