Buccal Fat Removal

Define Your Natural Contours

Buccal fat removal is a minimally invasive procedure designed to sculpt the lower face by reducing the fullness of the cheeks. This results in a more contoured, chiselled appearance, particularly in patients with rounder faces or pronounced buccal fat pads.

Technique:

A small incision (around 1cm) is made inside the cheek, near the upper molars. The surgeon gently teases out and removes a portion of the buccal fat pad. The incision is then closed with dissolvable sutures. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and usually takes 30–45 minutes.

Benefits:

What to Expect

Consultation – We assess your facial structure and determine if buccal fat removal is suitable based on facial harmony, fat pad prominence, and skin elasticity.
Pre-Procedure – Avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatories, and alcohol 48 hours prior. Maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Surgery Day – Local anaesthetic is used, and the procedure is completed in less than an hour.
Recovery – Expect swelling for 3–7 days. A soft diet is recommended for 48 hours. Most return to work within 2–3 days. Full results appear in 4–6 weeks.
