Hubbub About the Buccal Fat Pad
Once an unknown niche procedure, buccal fat pad removal is now everywhere in the media. Buccal fat pad removal surgery allows us to flatten the cheeks of somebody who has "chipmunk cheeks," reducing the bulge below the cheek mound to be relatively flat or just slightly concave.
Mostly for young adults, this surgery can be a powerful tool for facial shaping when the right amount of fat is removed. But if too much fat is removed or the patient does not have enough fat to begin with, it can result in an unnatural look.
As you get older, all facial fat pads, including the buccal fat pads, lose volume and we don't want to “burn our bridges” for your future appearance, we want to look good both now and later.
Learn the reality of what buccal fat pads are, how they are removed, and the good and bad sides of how removing them might affect your appearance.

After the Facelift: Prevention, Maintenance and Restoration Continue
You’ve had a facelift and love the results but aging never stops. There are features of the aging face that the facelift is not particularly designed to address. Wrinkles and deepening of the nasolabial folds and marionette lines are only modestly impacted by a facelift and upper facial dynamic lines not at all. Plus, you want to get the most longevity out of the facelift you can. Maybe its been a few years since your facelift and you notice some laxity starting to show again, not enough to justify another facelift but enough to notice. Dr. Bass discusses options and planning to make the most of your appearance without surgery during the long stretch of time after a facelift before it might be time for another.

Before the Facelift: How a Multi-Faceted Program of Non-Surgical Treatments Can Postpone The Facelift
Most people focus of the facelift when they think of plastic surgery, and rightly so as it is still the main reset for facial aging. Still, there are several decades of facial aging before a facelift is indicated. During this time, a plan of treatment is needed to correct the earlier aging changes taking place, as well as to maintain appearance and prevent or slow the onset of facial aging. In fact, non-surgical treatments of the face have become by far the predominate treatments being provided these days.
There are non-surgical modalities that are used in concert to create the desired anti-aging and rejuvenation appearance goals. Medicated skin products, laser and energy based treatments and injectables like neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau) and fillers (e.g. Restylane, Juvederm and a growing list of others) are mixed and matched based on what features are aging and the preferences and lifestyle limitations of the individual to prevent and restore early facial aging. Given all the options and the range of aging changes encountered in people aged 30, 40 and beyond, Dr. Bass explains how a plan should be constructed in partnership with an experienced plastic surgeon who has a full range of options, surgical and non-surgical, available to patients.
