Buccal Fat Removal (Create A Slimmer And More Sculpted Appearance)

· Those in Seoul seeking a more sculpted and elegant jawline.
· Those with round, chubby, or full cheeks.
· Those with stubborn fat in the cheek area.
· Those who want to balance their overall facial features.
· Those who wish to appear less masculine or angular due to strong facial contours.

Buccal Fat Removal is a facial contouring surgery designed to reduce the fullness in the lower cheeks by carefully removing the buccal fat pads located beneath the cheekbones. These pads of fat naturally exist in everyone, but in some, they are more prominent and can make the cheeks appear round or chubby. The removal of these fat pads helps create a slimmer facial shape that highlights the cheekbones and defines the jawline more clearly. This procedure is often chosen to enhance facial balance and achieve a more sculpted appearance that better complements the rest of the facial features. As the buccal fat pad is a distinct and separate structure from other facial fat, removing it allows the lower face to appear leaner while keeping the natural contours of the mid and upper face intact.

The benefits of Buccal Fat Removal extend beyond cosmetic refinement. This procedure provides long-lasting improvement, as the fat pads do not regenerate once removed. The resulting contour can enhance the harmony between facial angles, offering a more refined and mature look. For those with a naturally round or square facial structure, this procedure can create a more elegant transition from the cheekbones to the jawline. It also helps improve both the side and front facial profiles, leading to a balanced and well-proportioned appearance that remains stable over time.

Buccal Fat Removal begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic to assess the facial structure, overall health condition, and aesthetic goals. During this stage, the doctor carefully examines the proportion of the cheeks and lower face to determine the ideal amount of fat to remove in order to create natural, balanced results.

Once the plan is finalized, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia for comfort and precision. A small incision is made inside the mouth near the upper molars, allowing access to the buccal fat pad located deep within the cheek. The doctor then gently removes the appropriate amount of fat to achieve a slimmer contour while maintaining harmony between the cheeks, jawline, and chin. Afterward, the incision is closed with sutures. Since the incision is entirely inside the mouth, no external scars are visible.

A short period of hospitalization for 1 night is typically recommended to monitor recovery. Sutures are removed after about 14 days, and follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure proper healing. Mild swelling and discomfort are normal during the first few days, gradually improving within 1 week. Most patients can resume daily activities in about 5 days, though the final results become more defined as the swelling subsides over several weeks.
