Am I a Good Candidate for Buccal Fat Pad Reduction?
This procedure is ideal for patients of all ages who are concerned about the lower face’s shape due to excess fat. It’s perfect for those with facial fat resistant to diet or exercise.
Even slim individuals can have “chubby” cheeks due to genetics, and buccal fat reduction offers a targeted solution. During your consultation, our expert surgeon will evaluate your face and discuss your goals to determine if this treatment is right for you.
The Procedure
Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure typically takes one hour. A small incision is made inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. Through this incision, the fat pads are carefully removed.
Please note that buccal fat cannot be removed via liposuction methods due to its location. If fatty deposits are also present in the jawline, liposuction may be a better alternative for those areas.
