Pre Operative Question Answer

Is buccal fat removal a surgical procedure?

Yes, buccal fat removal is indeed a surgical procedure. It involves the removal of excess fat pads located in the cheeks, resulting in a more defined facial contour. During the procedure, a small incision is made inside the mouth, allowing for the careful removal of the buccal fat pad. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific concerns, discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure, and determine if buccal fat removal is the right option for you.
