Get a Sculpted Face with Buccal Fat Reduction

Buccal fat reduction or bichectomy is removal of some or all of the buccal fat pad in the face. It is found in between the cheek and jaw bones and it can create a full face in some individuals. The procedure is done to slim the face for those that have large cheeks. A 1.5cm incision is made in the inside of the mouth and some or all of the fat pad is removed through this small incision. It takes 40 minutes and there are a couple of dissolving stitches placed inside the mouth.

Facial fullness can be caused by an excess of buccal fat and the surgery can help bring in the cheeks and create a nice contour under the cheekbones. The entire fat pad does not need to be removed in most people as it can create a very hollow face if overdone. It is a subtle procedure but can really improve the contour of the cheek area.

The downtime is minimal and there may be some swelling for a few days. The downtime is usually 3-5 days.

Sculpted face with a short procedure

Excessive buccal fat can lead to facial fullness. Surgery selectively trims fat to sculpt cheeks, enhancing contours without creating an overly hollow appearance.
