Frustrated by stubborn fat? Looking for more definition? Liposuction may be the answer for you!
Despite a strict diet and exercise, there may be areas of fat that are difficult or nearly impossible to burn. Fat distribution is a combination of genetics and lifestyle choices. Although you can change what you eat and how much you work out, it’s not possible to change your genes.

Five insider secrets to know about buccal fat pad removal:

I often tell my patients that being a plastic surgery patient after massive weight loss is like being a medical resident. Are you wondering how?
