What is Buccal Fat Removal?

Buccal fat removal in Los Angeles is one such surgery that can enhance facial appearance by thinning the cheeks and defining the facial angles. At Profiles Beverly Hills our expert team of two facial plastic surgeons consults and operates together on every patient to ensure the best possible results. We take great care in assisting our patients with balancing out the proportions of their facial structure, thereby enhancing their appearance in a way that boosts their confidence and self-esteem. Call us today at (310) 276-6800 to find out more.

This procedure is also known as buccal lipectomy, or cheek fat reduction surgery. The surgical procedure involves removing the buccal fat pads from the lower cheek, creating a slimmer facial appearance in patients who feel that their cheeks are disproportionate to their face. This will help achieve a contoured look without contouring!

Our experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeons Drs. Solieman and Litner will conduct a pre-operative consultation with you to determine the best surgical approach. Typically, they will follow these steps during buccal fat removal surgery:

  • Administer an anesthetic- the procedure is generally done under some light sedation
  • Make a small incision from the inside of your cheek
  • Remove your buccal fat pads with great care and precision
  • Close the incision with stitches

It is normal to experience minor swelling of the cheeks after the surgery. This will subside within a week or two. Bruising is not typically experienced with this procedure. Pain is not a significant factor in recovery from buccal fat removal and patients typically do not need much in the way of pain management.
