What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic procedure designed to create a slimmer facial appearance by removing fat pads from the lower cheeks. This technique emphasizes the cheekbones and jawline, resulting in a more contoured, V-shaped face. Buccal fat pads, which vary in size among individuals, can make the face appear rounder. By removing these pads, the procedure highlights the face's natural structure. The results are long-lasting since buccal fat pads do not regenerate, though overall facial fat can change with significant weight fluctuations. Buccal fat removal can be performed independently or alongside other facial cosmetic surgeries.

How Does Buccal Fat Removal Work?
The buccal fat removal procedure typically lasts around 45 minutes. It begins with the administration of either local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort. A small incision is made inside the cheek, through which the surgeon accesses and removes the buccal fat pad. The incision is then closed with dissolvable sutures. This process is repeated on both cheeks. The recovery period involves managing swelling and bruising, with the final results becoming visible as the face adjusts to the new contours over the following weeks.
