What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure that carefully removes excess fat pads from the lower cheeks. By reducing this volume, the cheeks appear slimmer, the jawline becomes more defined, and the overall facial profile achieves greater balance.
Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal
- Slimmer, sculpted cheek contour
- Enhanced definition of cheekbones and jawline
- A more proportional, refined facial appearance
- Permanent fat reduction in the treated area
- Boost in self-confidence and facial harmony
Am I a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have naturally round or full cheeks that persist despite a healthy lifestyle
- Desire sharper definition in your face
- Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
- Have realistic expectations about results
- Are looking for long-term facial contouring improvement
What to Expect During Buccal Fat Removal
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no external scars. Through these incisions, the buccal fat pads are carefully removed. The surgery usually takes less than an hour, and patients return home the same day.
Buccal Fat Removal Recovery and Results
Recovery involves mild swelling and tenderness for several days, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week. Since incisions are made inside the mouth, following post-operative care—such as rinsing with antibacterial solutions and eating soft foods—is important. Final results emerge over several weeks, revealing slimmer, more defined cheeks and a naturally contoured appearance.
