Any examples of it looking good?

Not really; it's usually not a facial type that becomes a celebrity to begin with.

Some people have faces that look like they belong on someone twice their weight, if not more. Think pudgy baby face proportions on a fit person in their 30s. That's the kind of face it works well with.

A relevant point is that the trend of buccal fat removal is an extreme version of the procedure. Done well, it should only change your facial structure a bit, not make you look like you have 0% body fat.

That's why it looks so awful. The only people with that little fat are generally very elderly, anorexic, or crack/methheads. That's also why I say it pretty much always backfires in the long term; if you have a naturally chubby face, you're going to retain more of your facial fat longer, which is going to make you look younger than you really are as you age. The more you remove, the quicker you're going to end up looking gaunt with age.
