What Is Buccal Pad Fat Removal?

Buccal pad fat refers to the pads of fat in your cheeks. They can make your face look unnaturally round. Additionally, this fat travels downwards as you age, making your face sag.

Therefore, we remove the buccal pad fat tissues from the cheeks, so you get a more proportionate, toned, and symmetrical face. Removing them also tightens the skin, giving you a slimmer face.

What is the Procedure of Buccal Pad Fat Removal?

Buccal Pad Fat Removal is performed under general or local anesthesia, recommended as per the patient’s condition. After the administration of anesthesia, about 1/2 cm incision is given at the buccal mucosa, which is inside the patient’s oral cavity.

This incision acts as the site to extract fat from the cheeks. The pressure is applied to the cheeks’ outer surface, pushing the buccal fat pad to protrude inside the mouth. The required tissue is extracted from this protruded pad, leaving the cheek size reduced and proportionate to face. The incision is then closed with sutures and left to heal on its own, which usually happens in just a few days.
