These are fat structures located in the cheeks that help shape the face and contribute to chewing functionality. However, in some individuals, excess fat in these pads can lead to a rounder, less defined face.
This procedure is ideal for individuals with round or undefined faces looking for a more sculpted appearance. The change is subtle yet enhances facial definition beautifully.
It is not recommended for individuals with naturally thin faces, as facial volume naturally decreases with age. Over time, removing too much fat can result in a hollow or gaunt appearance.
Yes, the results of buccal fat removal are permanent.

We recommend patients be 18 years or older, as the facial structure continues to develop throughout adolescence. Performing this surgery too early may impact long-term facial harmony.
Patients traveling from abroad are recommended to arrive three days before the procedure to prepare properly.
Initial swelling typically subsides within a week, but final results become fully visible after three months. Most patients return to work just a few days after the procedure.
