Buccal Fat Removal – Slim and Sculpt Your Lower Face for a Defined Look

What Is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat pads are naturally occurring pockets of fat located deep within the lower cheeks. In some individuals, these pads are more prominent, giving the face a rounder or "baby-faced" appearance.

During buccal fat removal, a small incision is made inside the mouth, and a portion of the fat pad is gently extracted. The incision is closed with dissolvable stitches, leaving no visible scars on the outside of the face.

What Facial Concerns Can Buccal Fat Removal Address?

Buccal fat removal can improve several concerns related to facial shape and proportion, including:

• Excessive fullness or roundness in the lower cheeks
• Lack of cheekbone definition
• Disproportion between the midface and jawline
• A desire for a more V-line or heart-shaped facial contour

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Buccal Fat Removal?

You may be a good candidate for buccal fat removal if you:

• Feel your face looks too round or “chubby” in the lower cheeks
• Have difficulty achieving facial definition despite healthy body weight
• Want a slimmer, more sculpted cheek and jawline area
• Are in good general health and have stable weight
• Prefer permanent results from a minimally invasive procedure
• Have realistic expectations about the outcome

This procedure is best suited for individuals with good skin elasticity, as it does not address skin laxity.

Key Benefits of Buccal Fat Removal

• Creates a more sculpted, contoured facial shape
• Highlights cheekbones and jawline
• Minimally invasive with no external scarring
• Permanent results with just one procedure
• Quick recovery and minimal downtime
• Can be combined with other facial contouring treatments for enhanced results

What to Expect During the Procedure

The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.

A small incision is made inside each cheek, and a portion of the buccal fat pad is removed. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and no visible scars are left on the face.

The treatment is usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.

What Is the Recovery Like?

Recovery from buccal fat removal is relatively quick and straightforward.

You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness in the cheeks for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within 2 to 3 days, though swelling can take 1 to 2 weeks to fully subside.

You’ll be advised to follow a soft food diet for several days and maintain good oral hygiene to avoid infection while the incisions heal.

When Will I See Results?

Initial results can be seen once the swelling begins to subside, usually within 2 to 3 weeks.

As the healing progresses and swelling fully resolves over 1 to 3 months, the face becomes noticeably slimmer and more defined. The results are permanent, as the removed fat does not grow back.

Ready to Enhance Your Natural Contours?

If you’re seeking a more sculpted, elegant facial shape, buccal fat removal is a safe and effective way to highlight your natural bone structure and create long-lasting definition.
