Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal Fat Removal is a precise cosmetic surgical procedure performed to eliminate excess fat pads located in the lower cheeks, known as buccal fat pads. The goal is to reduce cheek fullness and enhance the natural contours of the face, resulting in a slimmer, more chiseled appearance. Typically, the surgery is done through small incisions inside the mouth, which leaves no visible scars. Recovery is generally quick, with mild swelling and bruising resolving within a few weeks. Ideal candidates are individuals seeking to refine their facial structure by reducing “chubby” or overly rounded cheeks. This procedure is performed by experienced surgeons dedicated to safe and effective results.

Fullness or puffiness in the cheeks can be caused by the presence of prominent buccal fat pads, which are natural fat deposits located between the facial muscles. While these fat pads contribute to youthful, rounded facial features, excessive fullness can sometimes create an undesired “chubby” or less defined appearance. This condition is often hereditary and may not respond to diet or exercise. Buccal fat removal targets this issue by surgically reducing the fat pads to achieve a more angular, sculpted facial shape. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy to maintain a natural and balanced look.
