What is buccal fat removal?

  • Buccal fat removal is a surgical procedure that removes fat pads from the cheeks to enhance facial contours.
    • This surgery is commonly performed to create a more defined cheekbone and jawline area.

Who is a suitable candidate for buccal fat removal?

  • Good candidates for buccal fat removal are individuals who:
    • Are in good overall health.
    • Have a stable weight.
    • Dislike the roundness or fullness of their cheeks.
