Buccal fat removal, also known as cheek reduction, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the volume of fat in the cheeks to create a more contoured facial appearance. The procedure involves the removal of buccal fat pads, which are located in the lower part of the cheeks, to achieve a slimmer and more defined face shape.
The surgery is typically performed through small incisions inside the mouth, making it minimally invasive with no external scarring. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes the excess fat to enhance the facial contours. Buccal fat removal can be an effective option for individuals with naturally chubby cheeks or those seeking to achieve a more sculpted appearance. Recovery is generally quick, with minimal discomfort and swelling. The results are permanent, though maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is important for preserving the desired facial contours. Buccal fat removal is often combined with other facial procedures for a more comprehensive aesthetic enhancement.
