Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery that targets the buccal fat pads in the lower cheeks. By removing these fat pads, the face gains a more sculpted and refined appearance. This procedure is especially popular among individuals with naturally round or full cheeks who desire a slimmer facial silhouette.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
Have full or chubby cheeks that don’t respond to diet or exercise
Desire a more contoured, V-shaped face
Are in good health and have realistic expectations
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the mouth, through which the buccal fat pad is carefully extracted. The entire procedure takes about 30–60 minutes and leaves no visible scars.
Recovery typically takes 7–10 days. Mild swelling or discomfort is normal and easily managed with prescribed medication. Patients are advised to follow a soft diet for a few days and maintain oral hygiene.
