What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal Fat Removal is a surgical procedure that targets the buccal fat pads, which is a soft pad located deep in the cheeks. By removing these fat pads, the face appears slimmer, and the cheekbones become more prominent. This procedure is popular among individuals aiming for a more contoured facial appearance.
Buccal fat pads are naturally occurring pockets of fat found between facial muscles in the lower cheeks. Their sizes vary from people to people and can give the face a fuller, rounder look. People with larger buccal fat pads may feel their cheeks look too puffy, even if they are slim overall. Removing this fat helps create a more sculpted and balanced facial shape.
How It Works
Buccal Fat Removal works by taking out a natural fat pad located deep in the lower cheeks. The procedure is done by making a small incision inside the mouth to access the buccal fat pad. Once located, the fat is gently pulled out and trimmed to achieve a balanced, natural-looking result. As the incision is made inside the mouth, there will be no visible scars. Over time, as the area heals and swelling subsides, the face begins to look slimmer and more contoured.

2. Local anesthesia will be applied to the cheek area.
