How is buccal fat removal performed?

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure performed to reduce fullness in the lower cheeks by removing excess buccal fat pads. The surgery typically involves making small incisions inside the mouth, through which the surgeon accesses and carefully removes the targeted fat deposits. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation, and recovery usually involves minimal downtime. It is crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your unique facial anatomy and discuss the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes of buccal fat removal to determine if it is the right option for you.
