What Is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal surgery is also known as buccal fat reduction or cheek reduction surgery. This cosmetic procedure reduces check fullness to create sculpted cheekbones and more refined facial contours. The buccal fat pads are located in the lower portion of the cheeks and are significantly reduced during the procedure. By surgically excising buccal fat, Dr. Daugherty can help deliver a slimmer, more sculpted facial profile.
Buccal fat pads can vary in size by patient and by cheek. Typically, buccal fat is not responsive to diet and exercise changes. It’s important to note that removing too much buccal fat may impact your appearance negatively, creating an older or gaunt-looking appearance. That’s why it’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon greatly experienced with buccal fat removal surgery.
