Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery that gets rid of excess buccal fat-pad tissue in the lower cheek areas and decreases puffiness and fullness in the face. It thins out the cheeks particularly in the cheek hollow area for a more sculpted facial shape and can improve the lower jawline area.
Buccal fat removal usually takes less than an hour with the option to use an intravenous sedation or a local or general anesthesia. Tiny incisions are made on the inside of the cheeks to take out the fat pads. Part or all of the fat pad will be removed based on your facial anatomy. The incisions are then closed with absorbable suture material.
If you have plump cheeks with fat deposits, bulging or droopy cheeks or sagging jowls, you are a good candidate for buccal fat removal. However, if you are currently trying to lose weight or planning to, it is best to wait before getting this type of procedure because you may end up looking too thin. You should be in good physical health, a non-smoker and have a stable weight. You can even be in your early 20’s; it all depends on your specific facial fat content.
A buccal fat removal procedure is considered safe but, like any major surgery, carries some potential risks. Complications can include asymmetry, bleeding, hematoma, infection, numbness, and parotid duct injury. All of these are very rare.
You should initially see some instant results but it will take up to three months for your swelling to recede and allow you to see the full and final results as your cheeks gradually contour to their new appearance.
The results of a buccal fat pad removal are permanent, the fat does not grow back. It will help to redefine the shape of your face. However, future weight gain can make your cheeks look plump again.
There is no visible scarring because all of the incisions are made inside the mouth.
