Have you ever heard of getting rid of your buccal fat? It’s the newest cosmetic procedure that’s been gaining traction all over TikTok and social media over the past few months. The new beauty standard is slimming down your face so you can show off your high cheekbones and slim side profile. People are getting this done after seeing multiple celebrities with significantly different faces - mainly Lea Michele and Bella Hadid who both used to have fuller cheeks. Just like most K-pop idols who started in the industry with plump cheeks but now have a V-shaped jaw line to fit the Asian beauty standard. The downside of everyone getting this procedure done is that losing volume in your face can make you age a lot faster and no one’s really talking about the cons.

Yeah quite literally. Like ngl, I am sorta pretty to an extent, but I generally look fairly ugly in day to day life because I have short hair and wear hoodies all the time, whcih are considered unattractive. I will not seem pretty unless I dress more femininely. So this also has to do with the way we present ourselves. Learn your body type and what makes u look more attractive. Start taking poses whenever you see some good lighting going on outside and take pics. People don't seem to get it that you CAN become beautiful without plastic surgery, and smth as simple as how u carry yourself can change everything

[@artorhen]

What makes this trend worse is that you can literally just use make up to achieve the same look without it affecting your face for the rest of your life and then winding up with hollow cheeks in the future.

[@TheAwesomes2104]

If you just want to make up for what gets flattened on camera, makeup can definitely achieve that effect, but contouring wasn't ever meant to look great in real life because the lighting is always changing. Me and my friends in highschool had a term for the intense contour we'd see people wearing in public, lovingly referred to as "poopoo smudge." But intense contouring can be washed off, surgery can't, so I'd far rather someone use super temporary makeup to achieve these for-camera looks than actually go get parts of their face chopped off/out. But even still, people seem to forget that these alterations were created to counteract the effects of the camera and not for irl looks. Anything other than mild contouring just doesn't look right the second you leave your vanity mirror and walk outside, into a store's lighting, or even another room because it was never designed to.

[@artorhen]

@@TheAwesomes2104 i agree, that on top of that, something very subtle can go a long way irl than scooping up bucal fat.

[@annikkirahko6714]

Honestly yeah, you can get some pretty sharp contouring with cream or powder contour. It’s easy enough to do. Definitely no need to get stuff removed from your face

You can also achieve this look by exercising and diet. low body fat will give you that look you want WITHOUT looking older.

I am not against plastic surgery, I have a "you do you" attitude toward it, BUT when they become a trend and/or people try tp convince, trick or glamourize them is when I have a problem with it.

[@happyxdragon1215]

I am the same way and it also bothers me that some people don't truly understand why they want to get plastic surgery done in the first place. It's gotten to the point, of course, where you have people that think of it as just another trend to participate in. ☹

[@mrdad-zl9zl]

It's upsetting because I have a lot of empathy for celebrities like Bella Hadid, Dove Cameron and Kylie Jenner for growing up in Hollywood, not just seeing it via media but actually being the media and the incredible pressure that brings. But they all deny the extent of the work they've had done despite it being obvious. They dont look anything like themselves, and they don't even look like their own family members or biological children in Kylies case. They're perpetuating advanced unrealistic beauty standards despite knowing the pressure it brings.

[@sheFEISTY.43110]

Im kind of the same. Some surgeries are mandatory. Especially if the person have deformed jaw, nose, and or eyes that needs to be fixed or else it'll cause a long term health damage. It's understandable then. The only effy thing when people get plastic surgeries for me, is when they deny. 😅 And calls it 'natural beauty,' like WHAT?!

[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

Yes. I would add one tip.... these defined looks are often made possible not only with buccal fat removal but cheek/jaw/chin implants. And this just like buccal fat removal can be spotted often. Typically you look for two things.... First do those areas look hard or stretched without the normal proportion of fat? That is abnormal and often a sign of an implant. Second, look at their face shape and proportions. Humans rarely have an absurdly sharp chin, jaw or cheeks because evolution thinks that's self defeating as it is more breakable. You tend to get more of a Henry Cavill than a Timothy Chamalet in nature. I say all this because I think people have forgotten what is and isn't natural.

I naturally have a sharp jawline, hallow cheeks and high cheekbones. The thing is I used to be insecure about these features, now they’re something that everyone is trying to get.

[@mckymcobvious3043]

same here, ive had people do my makeup at Sephora and i had to explain to them NOT to put blush along the gaunt part of my face because it hollows me out.. my eyes are also kind of deep set, they always try to draw in that dark definition in the crease of my eye and i have to stop them because it's already there! i recently realized that ive essentially been "contouring" with blusher by applying it directly under my eyes and across my nose, the way it would if I got a real sunburn.

[@eshim3961]

The irony is that the people that are getting their buccal fat removed are gonna have to end up getting fillers or fat transfers to their cheeks (which can cause facial blot clots that can lead to facial necrosis) when they get older in order to prevent themselves from looking gaunt and hella aged.

The buccal fat in one's face is what determines how quickly one begins to look old. If you get it removed or generally have a thin face, you will get folds in your face sooner. So I'm pretty glad I've got a 'moon face'. And to be honest, having the buccal fat removed makes people look weird, because it's not what the body intended you to look like and one quickly looks unnatural. I personally think it makes people look creepy.

[@akaLaBrujaRoja]

Ozempic was briefly mentioned at 6:15, but to anyone who’s thinking about it for “fast and extreme weight loss,” that is NOT typical. You might lose around 5 pounds, but that’s because it dulls your sense of taste so you lose your appetite (not like with covid, but kind of like when you have a cold and your head is really congested), and you get nauseous with gut cramps when you eat. You can also get egg burps and bad farts (luckily I didn’t.) But another thing about this hype is that it’s causing a shortage and people who actually need it for diabetes and pre-diabetes can’t get it, so vain selfish jerks are causing real harm to people who already have a serious medical condition. At least carving up your face only hurts yourself.

When my friends here lament about being too tall, having high cheekbones, strong or sharp jaws, tan skin, and big lips I’m like girl, you need to go to LA. I have to explain to people that in the West the ideal is like Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolene. It just goes to show basing yourself worth on beauty ideals, ESPECIALLY trends, is a moot point. You can be the hottest person in your city, and in another country you’re considered meh. You can be the ugliest girl from some rural town and still get snatched up by a modeling agency. Hell, in the last century alone the beauty ideas in America have swung widely from one end of the spectrum to another. Don’t change yourself to fit in, seriously.

At the same time I get it too that peopledo perhapsto drastic chances to their faces, there is lots of pressure specially on women to look a certain way and to not age to get any jobs, then maybe some don't realise that they already have thousands of Kardashian copies and are not looking for more but rather people who look different.

[@breadisgood9336]

@@teijaflink2226 I feel like that’s just a cycle that keeps repeating and repeating. One feature is in “trend” than a few weeks later another is. Not only that, but the people who did this to look different aren’t the only ones and pretty soon everyone is doing the same surgery and the effect of looking different gets lost like you said. I’m not pro plastic surgery unless it’s minimal. If you want to get it you can. I find it really really good if it’s what you wanted or it helps correct things that were wrong before. The kind that most people are getting currently is taking out protective fat and I don’t think that is the best idea

[@breadisgood9336]

This whole “eternal youth” thing doesn’t really exist. Instead of doing things to your body that are permanent and won’t affect it well, just enjoy your youth while you still can. I do understand that that can be easier said than done, especially if you’re a celebrity. I mean, can anyone really expect you to look 20 for forever?

Thank you for including that part about premature aging. So many procedures are so tempting, when society makes you feel like you need to look a certain way to have any value; but even if most people know what they would look like if they got X or Y done, they barely ever know what problems it would bring long term and how much older it could make them look in the future

Idk why having such angular features is so sought after. I personally think round faces are so cute, and some of my favorite celebrities have those very soft features (Emma Stone, Diane Agron, Emilia Clarke, Alicia Silverstone, Judy Garland, and Zoey Deschanel to name a few). It just doesn’t work for everyone, and looks downright unnatural when they have a more rounded bone structure from the beginning.

[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

I very much agree. I think everyone is evolving into clones and it is quite creepy. And the bone structure is really a major issue. I naturally have strong cheekbones and a jaw a bit like this current beauty standard, but my face still looks nothing like these celebs. I still have a healthy layer of fat over my cheeks and and jaw and face. That sharp chiseled jaw look is almost always cheek and jaw and chin implants because the natural bone structure of the face tends to have some smooth padding over the bones if it is natural. I say this to clarify that the celeb look is the look of plastic surgery. 90% of the time it is not one found in nature. You can tell who is natural and not because those that are it is nowhere near the crazy unnatural extremes. People just don't know what that looks like. I watch Lorry Hill who covers this, which how I got familiar spotting it. Just remind people that idolizing this is like idolizing plastic surgery barbie or ken.

Bucchal is really irreversible. You can change your nose a few times. Swap eye shapes. Jawline can be reduced with botox and it will go away later. Lip-fillers will be absorbed. Those things can be trends. Bucchal is lifetime!

[@ruminationstation4200]

Nose jobs happened repeatedly because they're prone to complications, and each one becomes more dangerous. It's a TERRIBLE idea to be cavalier about multiple nose jobs, it's literally how you breathe and can have detrimental health consequences as your risk of collapse goes up

[@TheAwesomes2104]

Some fillers never fully dissolve, and if not done properly and in certain areas can migrate. If done poorly over or over and over throughout the course of a lifetime, it can definitely lead to very unwanted results. No plastic surgery is without risk. Almost no plastic surgery is 100% reversible. Buccal fat removal is just a more extreme example.

I wish you would've included the bit where Dr. Gary Linkov mentions that it isn't always the buccal fat pad that makes your face look round! He mentioned it in one of the buccal fat videos and said that removing it might then make your face appear unbalanced, and not at all like the client getting buccal fat removed hoped it would. He also said that the fat pad is super close to a bunch of nerves, and the chances of doing some type of nerve damage during surgery are high and that's why he himself no longer does it! I also think it's so sad and dangerous that such young people are hopping on the trend and getting what is pretty much an irrevesible procedure to change their faces. I have very round cheeks, but my face went through a pretty noticeable change after I turned 20! I lost my "baby fat" that I was carrying in my face and while I still look extremely young in my late 20s, I do clearly look like an adult. If these people had been patient they might've seen an even more drastic change in their faces, but our culture is so saturated with the need for immediate results.

I still remember when I first started getting into Kpop idols and Asian dramas. The further down the rabbit hole of interest became, the more I started to notice this issue. I know that people, specifically in this case Asian celebs, get cosmetic surgery for various reasons but seeing the drastic difference in appearance was a bit of a culture shock. While I will admit that such desires are no different in the US, seeing a lot of these people change what seems to be not just their face but also their natural head shape and/or structure into that of a living doll is kind of unsettling to say the least. And while I understand that it is their choice to do so, I find it frightening that a lot of these people are taking that leap for something that is both a temporary fix and costly to your health. It's just like what Edvasian points out in the video, some of these changes may affect the person more than they think in the long run. I just hope that such trends are not taken too far.

@Grapeyard I've seen a few ex idols talk about how when they were trainees, they'd always get taught "oh your nose looks a certain way you need to change it" or "oh you should get double eyelids" etc, in more recent years beauty has become a standing point in kpop, these idols HAVE to comply with the standards and the idols who don't fit at debut will start progressively changing their features during their career, just to please the public, so there's no way it's actually their choice but definitely the agency's choice. Also we know that idols are debuting younger and younger now , what worries me is that they're gonna get PS and alter features that aren't fully developed yet, causing them problems when they grow up and their face changes.

It's kinda funny how in Korea it's a beauty standard to have slim face and then some idols trend because of their "cute cheeks", example: Winter in the "Step back" fancam, Jennie for rocking both sexy (eyes) and cute (cheeks) styles, Han just overall for looking like squirrel ect, Soobin by his streechy skin on chubby cheeks ect.

I have naturally prominent cheekbones and sure they can look good in pictures, but it’s really easy to go into “middle aged Disney lady villain” territory lol. I almost never contour for this reason. Appreciate what you have, and if you can’t, try to find less permanent and more empowering ways to feel better about your body. Or maybe just get off TikTok, have coffee with a friend, clean up your local park, something like that?

This is old but "middle aged Disney lady villain" is IT. I don't get how anyone thinks it's an insult, have you seen Maleficent? Diablo's Lilith? Girl, I could only wish.

i find the whole buccal fat removal trend really disturbing. because with the whole thing about it looking gaunt, i don't think that's a coincidence. i think it's possible that people _want_ to look sickly, and it's especially troubling because of the whole theory going around that the trend is shifting back to ultra-skinny being the beauty standard. i don't think that's a coincidence at all; it just lines up too well.
