Buccal Fat Removal is a precise surgical procedure performed by skilled plastic surgeons to reduce the size of the buccal fat pads, which are located in the lower cheeks. These fat pads can contribute to a “baby face” or overly round facial shape. By removing a carefully determined amount of fat from this area, the cheeks become more sculpted, enhancing the definition of your facial features.
Buccal Fat Removal typically takes around 1 hour to complete and is performed under anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions inside your mouth, avoiding any external scars. Through these incisions, the excess buccal fat pads are carefully excised. The incisions are then closed, resulting in a discreet and virtually invisible healing process.

Following the procedure, you will be monitored by our dedicated medical team to ensure a smooth recovery. Some swelling and discomfort in the treated area are normal, but they will gradually subside over the course of 2 to 6 weeks. Pain medication and other prescribed medications will be provided to manage any discomfort. During the initial healing period, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
In the weeks following your surgery, you may need to wear a supportive compression garment to aid in the healing process and optimize the final results. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on wearing this garment and guide you on when you can resume your regular activities.
With time, the initial scars will fade and become virtually unnoticeable. It is essential to protect the incision sites from sun exposure and apply a high-factor sunscreen. As your healing progresses, any temporary numbness or sensitivity in the treated area will resolve, allowing you to fully enjoy the final results. Within approximately 3 months, you will experience the complete outcome of the procedure, with beautifully sculpted and defined facial contours that highlight your unique beauty.
As with any surgical procedure, Buccal Fat Removal carries general risks such as allergic reactions, bleeding, infection, or poor wound healing. However, these risks are rare, especially when performed by our experienced surgeons in our state-of-the-art facility. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks and potential complications during your consultation, ensuring you are fully aware and informed.
