Enhance Your Facial Contours
What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal, also known as buccal lipectomy or cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure offered by The Practice Plastic Surgery. It aims to create a more slender facial appearance and enhance facial contours. Our team, led by a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial procedures, is highly experienced in buccal fat removal and other facial surgeries.
What is Buccal fat?
Buccal fat, located above the jaw and below the cheekbone, contributes to the fullness of the lower cheeks. By surgically removing the buccal fat pad, you can create a more defined, contoured cheekbone.
While some facial fat is desirable for a youthful look, excessively developed buccal fat pads can result in a puffy or overly rounded facial appearance, commonly called "chipmunk cheeks."
Discover a More Defined Face
What is the Buccal Fat Removal procedure like?
Buccal fat removal is a procedure that sculpts the midface to enhance cheek and cheekbone definition. It is typically performed under local anesthesia through small incisions inside the cheek.
Additional cosmetic procedures like liposuction, rhinoplasty, or facelifts often complement buccal fat removal. Combining treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers can further harmonize facial features to achieve your desired aesthetic outcome.
Achieve Facial Balance
What conditions does Buccal Fat Removal address?
- Round or Full Cheeks: Buccal fat removal effectively reduces excess fat in the cheeks, creating a slimmer, more elegant, contoured facial appearance.
- Chipmunk Cheeks: This procedure can benefit individuals with overly prominent buccal fat pads, often called "chipmunk cheeks," by achieving a more balanced facial profile.
- Lack of Facial Definition: Removing buccal fat enhances facial contours, emphasizing features such as the cheekbones and jawline for a more defined appearance.
- Desire for a Thinner Face: Buccal fat removal helps individuals achieve a thinner and more sculpted facial profile, particularly those with naturally fuller cheeks.
- Dissatisfaction with Facial Proportions: Patients seeking improved facial harmony and balance can undergo buccal fat removal to achieve more proportionate facial features.
