Buccal fat while squishy still adds structure to the cheek. The soft tissues creates a hollow that just doesnt work asthetically. Its survivor bias for those that actually benefitted from it. You need atleast horizontal and higher set zygos and canthal tilt. The unspoken secret about aging isnt collagen, its that your face gradually migrated downwards from your braincase.
Facial vectors also matter.
