Buccal Fat Pad Removal

While most people lose the baby fat in their face as they get older, some patients are troubled by the appearance of “chubby cheeks” after adulthood. Patients who have excess fat in the cheeks, called buccal fat, have rounder, more childlike cheeks. If you’re not happy with your round cheeks, a buccal fat removal procedure may be for you.

What is Buccal Fat Removal?

A buccal fat removal procedure is performed to reduce and sculpt cheeks by removing persistent excess buccal fat. This condition is usually caused by genetics, although it can also come about due to obesity. If the cause is obesity, diet and exercise will resolve the concern. However, if the excess fat is hereditary, diet and exercise will not be effective.

A buccal fat removal surgery is done to reduce, thin and sculpt the cheeks by removing a portion of the fat stored in the cheeks, which defines the cheekbones and contours the jawline and face.
