Buccal fat removal is a treatment that removes fat in the lower cheek region to give the face a narrower shape and slimmer appearance. This treatment helps accentuate the cheekbones and jawline. Buccal fat removal is also called buccal lipectomy.
The buccal fat removal treatment is an elective procedure. Anyone who wishes to highlight or accentuate their cheekbones and get a less-prominent face is a good candidate for a buccal fat removal treatment.
A buccal fat removal procedure in an overweight or obese individual gives aesthetic results. It may overly highlight cheekbones in those with a narrow face. Since the results of buccal fat removal treatment vary from person to person, consulting a plastic surgeon to help understand how the procedure will affect your appearance is important. It can help you make an informed decision.
You can consider a buccal fat removal procedure if:
The buccal fat removal procedure takes around 45 minutes.
Recovery after the buccal fat removal procedure takes two to three weeks. The final result may take longer. You may experience facial swelling, which will gradually resolve in a week. The final results will usually appear after two months.
The buccal fat reduction procedure is safe. Though rarely, the following events may occur:
It is, therefore, important to choose to undergo this procedure under an experienced and trained plastic surgeon.

Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure during which the buccal fat pad is removed from beneath the cheekbone. During a cheek liposuction, the fat under the cheekbone is vacuumed out of the face.
A buccal fat removal procedure is safe. However, rarely, side effects such as excessive bleeding, injury to nerves or salivary gland ducts, or asymmetry of the face may occur.
Once the buccal fat is removed, it does not regrow. So, as long as you maintain optimal weight, the effects of the procedure remain. However, with ageing-related facial changes, the shape of your face may change. For this reason, we recommend the optimal removal of buccal fat to ensure long-lasting effects even as you age.
You can return to your daily activities 5 to 7 days after a buccal fat procedure. However, it is best to ask your doctor when the best time is to do so.
Since the incision in a buccal fat procedure is taken intraorally, there are no scars or stitches on the face.
The procedure is usually permanent since the buccal fat does not regrow after removal. However, with skin elasticity and muscle mass loss, the buccal fat may look prominent as you age.
After a buccal fat procedure, recovery time is 5 to 7 days.
