Buccal Fat Removal is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces fullness in the lower cheeks by removing part of the buccal fat pads. These fat pads are naturally present inside the cheeks and contribute to a round or soft facial appearance. By reducing this volume, the face appears slimmer, more contoured, and better defined. This procedure is commonly chosen to enhance facial structure, especially in the cheekbone and jawline areas, creating a more sculpted and balanced look.

Buccal Fat Removal also offers aesthetic benefits such as improving facial proportions, enhancing natural bone structure, and creating a more refined and mature appearance. The results are long-lasting because the removed buccal fat does not typically regenerate. With proper planning and technique, this procedure can achieve subtle yet noticeable changes, helping the face appear less bulky while maintaining a natural and harmonious contour.

Buccal Fat Removal begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where facial structure, cheek volume, and overall balance are carefully assessed. During the treatment session, local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort, followed by a small incision inside the inner cheek. Through this opening, the buccal fat pad is gently accessed and a controlled amount is removed to reduce lower cheek fullness.

After the removal process, the incision is closed with dissolvable stitches, allowing natural healing inside the mouth without visible scars. This reduction in cheek volume gradually enhances facial contour, making the cheekbones more defined and the overall face appear slimmer and more sculpted. Mild swelling and discomfort may occur for a few days, with most swelling improving within about 1 to 2 weeks. As healing progresses, the final results become more visible over 3 to 6 months, revealing a more refined, balanced, and naturally contoured facial appearance.
