Buccal fat removal is a simple outpatient procedure that reduces heaviness or bulk in the cheek area.

The buccal pad is a disc of fatty tissue located in the hollow of the cheek. Individuals with prominent buccal pads may have heavier cheeks, creating a “baby-faced” appearance. While some patients seek implants to enhance narrow cheeks, buccal fat removal is the surgical solution for overly heavy cheeks that overwhelm the other features of the face. The buccal pads are removed via small incisions on the inside of the cheek, creating a slimmer, more contoured face shape. Also known as cheek reduction, buccal fat removal reduces heavy cheeks for a more sculpted, slender, and contoured appearance.

Buccal fat removal reduces unwanted bulkiness in the cheeks, helping to balance the proportions of heavy or round face shapes.

The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and instantly slims and streamlines the cheek area. The buccal fat pads, which sit in the hollow of the cheeks, are accessed and removed via small incisions inside the cheek. Buccal fat removal is often performed at the same time as other facial recontouring procedures, allowing each patient a highly customized approach to aesthetic enhancement of the face without the need for multiple surgeries. If you have ever wished you could reduce your naturally full cheeks, buccal fat removal may be beneficial to you.

Many patients who seek buccal fat removal have long wished they could reduce the volume of disproportionately plump or heavy cheeks. The distribution of fat on the cheeks does not always correlate with body weight, meaning that exercise and weight loss measures may not have any effect on facial shape.

If you are bothered by heavy cheeks and have wished for a naturally sleeker facial appearance, buccal fat removal, or cheek reduction, may be your answer. Because the removal of buccal fat is not reversible, this procedure is recommended for individuals who feel that their cheeks overwhelm their appearance, cause disproportionality in the face, or distract from the beauty of their other features. Generally healthy individuals who do not smoke are candidates for cheek reduction. Maintaining a stable weight will help you preserve the contouring provided by buccal fat removal surgery. If you are bothered by the appearance of heavy cheeks and want more streamlined, graceful facial contours, buccal fat removal is an excellent surgical option.

During your buccal fat removal Westlake facial surgery provider, Dr. Stone, will administer local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and/or intravenous sedation for your comfort. The surgical site is accessed via the mouth, and a small incision is made on the inner cheek. The buccal fat pads are removed, and the incisions are closed. If desired, buccal fat removal can be combined with other procedures such as chin reshaping or a facelift. You will be sent home with a special mouthwash to prevent infection. Instructions will be provided for following a liquid diet and caring for the surgery site. Plan on having someone drive you home and help you get settled in for recovery.

Before returning home, you will be provided with instructions for caring for incision sites and a special mouthwash to prevent infection.

Patients appreciate the beautiful facial slimming and contouring made possible by this simple and straightforward surgical approach.
