About Buccal Fat Removal

Reduction of the buccal fat pads in the lower cheeks to change cheek fullness.

Reduction of lower-cheek fullness

Buccal fat pads sit in the lower cheeks. The practice’s procedure page describes reducing these pads to change cheek fullness and facial contours. This is distinct from chin liposuction or a procedure that adds projection to the chin, although the practice may discuss combinations when more than one area contributes to a concern.

Longer-term proportions matter

During consultation, explain the amount of change you are considering rather than simply requesting a narrower face. Ask how your current cheek volume, asymmetry and expected changes over time affect the plan. The discussion should cover the proposed amount of reduction, incision placement inside the mouth and what the procedure cannot change. Review gallery examples in the context of any additional treatments performed.

Questions for your consultation

• Is the buccal fat pad the main contributor to the fullness I notice?
• How is the amount removed decided?
• What alternatives could address my concern without cheek reduction?
• What mouth care, eating instructions and follow-up would apply after surgery?
