Buccal Fat Removal
Sculpt a slimmer, more defined face with natural-looking results
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery that reduces excess fat from the cheeks, creating a slimmer, contoured, and more defined facial shape.
It’s especially popular among individuals with round or fuller faces who want a sharper jawline and cheekbone definition.

FAQs
Q1. Will removing buccal fat make me look older as I age?
No—when performed conservatively, buccal fat removal enhances cheek definition without hollowing the face. A skilled surgeon ensures a balanced look that ages naturally.
Q2. Can I combine buccal fat removal with other procedures?
Yes—many patients combine it with a chin implant, rhinoplasty, or facelift for a more dramatic transformation.
Q3. Is the result the same for everyone?
No—results depend on your face shape, skin elasticity, and amount of buccal fat. Your surgeon customizes the procedure to your unique facial structure.
Q4. How do I know if I’m a good candidate?
If you have a rounder face with full cheeks and are seeking more definition, you may be a good candidate. Those with naturally thin faces may not benefit as much.
