Buccal Fat Removal is a cosmetic facial contouring procedure that reduces the size of the buccal fat pads located deep within the lower cheeks. These naturally occurring fat pads contribute to facial fullness and can create a rounder or softer facial appearance. During the procedure, a controlled amount of buccal fat is removed to decrease excess cheek volume and enhance the natural contours of the face. Buccal Fat Removal is commonly performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other facial contouring procedures to create a more balanced and refined facial profile.

The main benefit of Buccal Fat Removal is the creation of a slimmer and more sculpted appearance in the lower face. By reducing excess fullness in the cheeks, the procedure can improve facial definition, increase the visibility of the cheekbones, and enhance the appearance of the jawline. Buccal Fat Removal can also contribute to better facial harmony by improving the proportion between the cheeks, chin, and jaw. Since the incision is placed inside the mouth, there are no visible scars on the outside of the face. The results are generally considered permanent because the removed buccal fat does not regenerate, although the overall facial appearance may still change with aging or significant weight fluctuations. The procedure can provide a more contoured, mature, and aesthetically balanced facial appearance.

Buccal Fat Removal begins with a consultation with the doctor at our affiliated clinic. During the consultation, the doctor evaluates facial proportions, cheek volume, skin condition, and overall facial structure to determine suitability for the procedure.

On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia with or without light sedation is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The doctor creates a small incision inside each cheek to access the buccal fat pads. A precise amount of excess fat is carefully removed to reduce cheek fullness and enhance the definition of the cheekbones and jawline. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures. Since the incision is located inside the mouth, no visible external scars are created.

Following Buccal Fat Removal, mild swelling, tightness, or bruising may occur as part of the normal healing process. Most patients experience a downtime period of approximately 3 to 7 days, while significant improvement in swelling is usually seen within 2 to 4 weeks. As healing progresses, the cheeks gradually appear slimmer and more defined. Final results continue to develop over several weeks to months as residual swelling resolves completely.
