Before the knife—or laser, or whatever fancy tool they use—these celebs had faces that felt familiar. Think Megan Thee Stallion back in 2019, with full, pillowy cheeks that matched her lively energy. Or Kylie Jenner in her early Lip Kit days, when her face was rounder and less… angular. Those “before” photos make them look younger, warmer, and less intimidating. It’s the face you’d see at a coffee shop and think, “She looks fun,” not “She looks fierce.”
But then comes the “after.” And oh boy, the after is a whole mood shift. Chrissy Teigen posted a selfie in 2026 with cheeks so hollow you could park a car in them. The comment section went wild: “Girl, what happened to your face?!” She later admitted she had the procedure and that it made her look “a bit gaunt” at first. Oof. That’s the risk: you might end up looking tired or aged instead of snatched.

The Ironic Twist: Regret is a Real Thing
Here’s where it gets juicy. Some celebrities are actually reversing buccal fat removal. Wait, what? Yes—you can get fat grafting or fillers to plump the area back up. Linda Evangelista, the supermodel, famously said she regretted her buccal fat removal because it made her look “unrecognizable.” And even Snooki from “Jersey Shore” (remember her?) had it done and later said she missed her cute, squishy cheeks. Irony much? You go under the knife to look younger, and years later, you’re spending more money to look older again.
Let’s be real: the “before and after” pictures are fascinating because they show how much a face can change. You’ve got Michael B. Jordan looking super chiseled in “Creed” versus his earlier “Friday Night Lights” days. His cheeks are leaner now, and it works for his action-hero vibe. But for women, it’s trickier. A hollow face can scream “big pharma” or “I’m starving,” which isn’t exactly aspirational.
