What is buccal fat removal, and what problem does it solve?
Buccal fat removal is a surgery in which the Bichat fat pads that cause the cheeks to look puffy and full are removed through a small incision. The procedure slims the lower cheek, defines the cheekbones, and sharpens the jawline; it's a procedure frequently chosen by those wanting a V-shaped face.
How will my face look after surgery — will it look overly hollow?
Removing the right amount of fat is critical. Removing too much fat causes the face to look sunken and aged with time. A natural, balanced result is achieved with digital planning and a conservative approach suited to the patient's facial structure. We recommend you definitely simulate the target look with your surgeon.
"Our goal is not a 'done' look, but a natural, balanced and lasting result that is truly yours."
What is the recovery process like?
Intraoral swelling peaks within 48–72 hours; soft, cold foods are recommended during this time. Stitches are removed on days 5–7, after which you can eat normally. Most of the swelling resolves at weeks 2–4, but the final result becomes clear within 3–6 months.
