Buccal Fat Removal: Schmale Wangen um jeden Preis? | reporter

Buccal fat removal – that's the name of the latest trend in cosmetic surgery. The procedure is supposed to make the face slimmer and therefore more beautiful. At least, that's what many young people hope for, hoping to look like Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, or Megan Fox. Lara (24) also dreams of a slimmer face. And indeed, from a medical perspective, the cosmetic procedure itself carries few risks. Small incisions, outpatient treatment, and a duration rarely exceeding one hour. ❗ The danger of this cosmetic surgery lies in the future: Buccal fat is the only fat in the body that naturally diminishes – due to the natural aging process. Therefore, the procedure could later make one look gaunt and much older than one actually is. ⚠ Note: This report contains several scenes from the operating room. These include uncensored images of the procedure as well as the removed fat. The excerpts are marked in the chapter headings. The funk format "reporter" ended on December 31, 2023.

Among surgeons, there is debate about the age at which the procedure should be performed. Here you can find different opinions on the topic: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beau... https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/he... 👨‍⚕️ We also contacted the German Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to ask for their stance on these procedures. Board member Dr. med. Helge Jens says: “No age recommendation can be given for the removal of buccal fat tissue, as this surgical procedure, hyped by social media, removes fat tissue that is naturally lost during the aging process anyway. The risk of looking very hollow-cheeked and gaunt in one's early 50s is therefore very high. There are very few patients who are even suitable candidates for this procedure. Therefore, I would advise against it.” ... 🎵 Music: Seth Schwarz - Patience Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - The Distance Sometimes Jah - Golf Cigs Don’t Count Kiasmos - Blurred Âme - Howling Yungpolar - Maybe It’s Love Made by Pete - Horizon Red Bonobo - El Toro Hans Zimmer - Time Alberto Bof - Giulia Chris Luno - Sunrise House Mix 🎥 Team: Timm Giesbers, Jakob Gross, Ines Müller, Lisa Schöffel, Lea Brockmann, Andreas Josef 👉 You can also find us here: Twitter:   / reporter   Snapchat:   / 3246991136   TikTok:   / reporter.offiziell   👉 YEAH!
