Jenna Ortega is once again in hot water. When she appeared on a recent red carpet, some fans noticed changes in her face and started wondering if she had plastic surgery. A few social media users claimed that she may have had buccal fat removal. Jenna has not said anything about the rumours, but her fans are clearly not happy with it.

What is buccal fat removal surgery?

Buccal fat removal is a type of cosmetic surgery where fat is taken out from the cheeks to make the face look slimmer and more defined. This fat, called buccal fat, sits deep inside the cheeks and gives the face a fuller or rounder look, which is sometimes called a baby face. During the surgery, doctors make small cuts inside the mouth to remove the fat, so there are no visible scars on the outside. Once the fat is removed, the cheeks look thinner, and the angles of the face, like the jawline and cheekbones stand out more. Everyone has different amounts of buccal fat, so how much it changes your look depends on your face shape. People often choose this procedure to get a more mature appearance.

‘She’s going to look like Donatella Versace’

Netizens are not really happy with this transformation. A user said, “She’s going to look like Donatella Versace.” Another added, “I’ll actually be kind of sad if she already messed with her face a la Selena Gomez.” “I never get it. How do people manage to convince these beauties to get surgeries,” added a user. “I noticed a long time ago.Her eyes have always been quite huge but recently they look kind of smaller/hooded,” claimed a netizen. A third wrote, ‘the added jaw filler always makes the face look so bloated.’ “Somehow her chin and jaw look even bigger,” noted a user.
