Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal Fat Removal is a cosmetic procedure that reduces excess fat in the cheeks to create a more sculpted, contoured facial appearance. By targeting the buccal fat pads (the rounded areas of fat in the lower cheeks), this procedure helps slim down the face and enhance natural definition — especially around the cheekbones and jawline.

What Buccal Fat Removal Can Improve

·         Full or chubby cheeks (often called “baby face”)

·         Lack of facial definition despite a healthy body weight

·         Desire for a slimmer, V-shaped facial appearance

·         Excess cheek volume that hides bone structure

Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal

·         Creates a more contoured, defined facial shape

·         Highlights natural cheekbone and jawline structure

·         Minimally invasive with a short recovery time

·         No visible external scars (incision made inside the mouth)

·         Permanent results, as fat pads do not regenerate

How the Procedure Works

Buccal fat removal is typically performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the cheek, and a portion of the buccal fat pad is carefully removed. The incision is then closed with dissolvable sutures. The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

·         You have overly rounded cheeks and desire a slimmer look

·         You are in good physical health and at a stable weight

·         You have realistic expectations about the outcome

·         You want more facial contour and definition

Recovery & Results

·         Mild swelling and soreness may occur for a few days

·         Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days

·         Final facial contours become more noticeable as swelling subsides

·         Results are long-lasting and become fully visible within a few weeks

Define Your Look with Subtle Precision

Buccal fat removal offers a subtle yet powerful enhancement by slimming the lower face and defining your natural bone structure. If you're looking for a leaner, more contoured appearance, this simple procedure can make a dramatic difference.
