Internet users were stunned to see the singer show off his long hair and chiseled features. Many believe that the musician may have gotten the buccal fat surgery done.

In recent months, several celebrities including Lea Michele, Sophie Turner and Amelia Hamlin, among others, have come to light for potentially getting the surgery done. Chrissy Teigen is the only celebrity who has admitted to getting the procedure done.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, buccal fat surgery helps in removing the fat between the cheekbones and the jawbones. This helps in highlighting the bone structure of one’s face.

Doctors have shared in interviews that it is likely that Liam Payne must have gotten the surgery. Dr. Azza Halim, a board-certified aesthetician, opined that fillers alone would not help the singer achieve a chiseled look. She added that it is likely that he had buccal fat surgery.

Doctors opine on Liam Payne’s buccal fat surgery

Founding injector at Plump Cosmetics, Pamela Weinberger believes that the musician must have opted for regular maintenance botox, jawline filler, lip filler, and chin filler to achieve his facial look.

Weinberger said:

“His new look is definitely sharper than it was in the past and has a bit of a “wow factor” for sure with how different his facial structure is looking.”

Dr. Ramtin Kassir, who has worked with celebrities like Melissa Gorga and Lele Pons, revealed in an interview that Liam Payne must have gotten fillers that contour his jaw and chin.

Despite the craze for the surgery going viral, aestheticians do not recommend everyone get the same. Kassir opined that it can cause “premature aging” for few people. The celebrity surgeon noted that the best candidates for buccal fat pad removal are those who are generally fit and have a good diet and exercise plan.
