Introduction
Learn how buccal fat removal surgery slims the lower cheeks, enhances cheekbone definition, and creates a more sculpted facial contour.
Buccal fat removal is a facial contouring procedure designed to reduce fullness in the lower cheeks. The buccal fat pads are deep fat compartments that can make the face appear round or “baby-faced,” even in individuals with low body fat.
By carefully removing a portion of this fat, surgeons can:
- Create sharper cheekbone definition
- Improve jawline visibility
- Achieve a more contoured facial structure
The procedure is performed through small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. Results are permanent, as removed fat cells do not regenerate.
Ideal candidates are individuals with naturally full cheeks and good skin elasticity who desire a slimmer, more refined appearance.
