I do think it’s interesting she mentioned having “complete facial reconstructive surgery” but not elaborating on what that was or why she had it...
when I read your post with her quote I read this as a joke about why the teeth removal was so ridiculous but maybe I’m wrong.
I googled buccal fat pad surgery and the results on truly chubby faces were still so slight - as you said her face wasn’t that chubby and her result was so much slimmer and defined than anything that appears when you search it.
Pretty curious about this myself now!
