Buccal Fat Removal
Removal of the Buccal Fat Pads
Subtle Facial Refinement
Buccal fat removal is a highly precise surgical procedure that involves removing the buccal fat pads, a build-up of fat located at the back of the cheeks, near the corner of the mouth and beneath the cheekbone. This treatment is suited to patients wanting improved facial definition, particularly those with rounder faces or wider jawlines. Removing these fat pads creates a contoured shadow area beneath the cheekbone, giving a more triangular, elongated profile and bringing harmony to the face as a whole.
Before & After
What does the surgery involve?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient. The area is accessed through an intraoral approach, which removes the need for any visible incisions. The removal of the buccal fat pads takes just 15 to 30 minutes, and the patient can return home the same day. This is an outpatient procedure that requires careful planning to achieve natural, proportionate results.
Postoperative Period: Quick Recovery, Stable Results
- Uncomplicated Recovery: The postoperative period is painless, with only a slight feeling of swelling that disappears within a few days.
- Specific Recommendations: Anti-inflammatory medication and detailed oral hygiene guidelines will be prescribed to support uncomplicated healing.
- Gradual Results: Results begin to show from the first week, reaching their final definition between the second and third month.
Buccal fat removal, when performed with the utmost precision, offers a natural, harmonious aesthetic improvement. If you are looking for a slimmer, more refined facial profile, this surgery is an excellent option that contributes subtly and effectively to your overall facial aesthetics.
