29 Celebrities Fans Believe Ruined Their Beauty With Buccal Fat Removal

As the current wife of Jeff Bezos stepped more into the spotlight, many took note of her ultra-defined cheeks and theorized buccal fat removal as a likely reason.

Not only that, Sanchez has even been cited by critics as an example of what it might look like if someone underwent every trending cosmetic procedure at once.

Once admired for her expressive eyes, Anya’s ethereal beauty now seems defined by her hollow cheeks. While some fans insist her look is simply genetic, others remain skeptical. 

Regardless of the reason, she has become one of the “poster girls” of the procedure, appearing in many comparisons made by those criticizing the surgery.

Demi shocked fans at a Fendi runway show when her cheeks appeared sunken and her face considerably altered. 

Buccal fat removal rumors exploded afterward, with many pointing to the dramatic division between her cheekbones and jaw as proof.

Her ever-changing face has kept fans speculating for years. Now that she’s returned to the spotlight after giving birth to her daughter, Saga Blade, with Machine Gun Kelly, the conversation surrounding her appearance has reignited.

To this day, many believe the actress’ sculpted cheeks are the result of a bichectomy, but her fans say it’s only the passage of time.

Beyond her gothic wardrobe and bleached eyebrows, fans are now expressing worry for what many believe is a far more permanent transformation. 

Following her back-to-back red carpet appearances for the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, many believe the 22-year-old actress removed fat from her cheeks, as she appeared markedly hollow compared to previous appearances.

The Disney Channel alum’s transformation has been one of the most discussed online. 

With dramatically slimmer cheeks, a pointed jawline, fuller lips, and a noticeably lifted brow area, many fans believe Dove Cameron has undergone a combination of procedures.

The Boys actress’s face shape appeared dramatically different between seasons, especially around the mid-face. Fans speculated she may have had buccal fat removed among several other procedures.

One of the most cited examples online, Bella's ultra-chiseled look has led many to believe she's had her buccal fat removed, though she’s denied most surgeries besides a nose job.

Turner’s leaner cheeks have long fueled buccal fat removal rumors, so much that she addressed the speculation in a 2024 interview with British Vogue.

She chalked the changes up to getting healthier after battling bulimia, explaining, “When you’re bulimic, your face tends to bloat. So, when I finally did get better in my early 20s, my face went back to normal. Then, suddenly, all the comments were about whether I’d had buccal fat removal or not. You can never win.”

Grande’s increasingly slim face initially sparked the usual bichectomy rumors, but fan concern now goes far deeper.

Her drastic weight loss, paired with her role in Wicked, has fueled debates about her influence on young audiences.
