Cheek Fat Removal – Buccal Fat Pad Reduction for Slimmer Facial Contours

What is cheek fat removal?

Cheek fat removal, also known as buccal fat pad reduction, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat tissue from the lower cheeks. This procedure helps achieve more defined and slimmer facial contours. Buccal fat pads are natural fat structures located in the lower cheeks that can give the face a fuller appearance. Buccal fat removal is popular among individuals who want to enhance their cheekbones and achieve a younger, more aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.

Who is cheek fat removal for?

The procedure is dedicated to individuals looking to improve their facial contours, especially by highlighting their cheekbones. Buccal fat removal is ideal for people with a genetic predisposition to fuller cheeks, which cannot be reduced through diet or exercise. It is a perfect option for those seeking a slimmer and more proportionate face.

Main benefits of cheek fat removal

• Improved facial contours: More prominently defined cheekbones.
• Increased confidence: Achieving a more aesthetic appearance.
• Minimally invasive: The procedure is quick, and the results are lasting.
• Long-lasting effects: Visible improvement after swelling subsides.

Effects of cheek fat removal

The procedure results in a slimmer, more defined face with prominent cheekbones. Patients notice a significant improvement in facial aesthetics and symmetry. The effects are permanent, with results visible a few weeks after the procedure.

Contraindications for cheek fat removal

• Systemic conditions that may impact the safety of the procedure.
• Issues with wound healing or a tendency to develop keloid scars.
• Unrealistic expectations regarding the results of the surgery.

Before the procedure, a consultation with a plastic surgeon is necessary to evaluate the individual case and eligibility for the surgery.

Recovery after cheek fat removal

Recovery is short and comfortable. Patients may experience mild pain, swelling, or bruising in the cheek area, which usually subsides within a few days to a few weeks. Post-procedure recommendations include:

• Avoiding strenuous physical activity for several days.
• Following a soft diet during the initial recovery period.
• Adhering to care instructions for the operated area.
