Buccal fat removal is the surgical removal of fat pads from the oral cavity. The fat is located in the lower third of the cheeks and can give the face a rounded appearance. This procedure is most often chosen by people who want to achieve so-called hollow cheeks and contoured cheekbones.

Additional information on the procedure
Description of the procedure
The procedure is usually performed under light anaesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth. The excess fat is then removed using special instruments. After the fat has been removed, the incisions are stitched together. Sometimes, filler injections or a chin implant may also be recommended during the procedure.
Risks
As with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks associated with this surgery, such as infection, bleeding, facial nerve damage or asymmetry. It is important to discuss all risks with your surgeon and set realistic expectations before undergoing the procedure.
Recovery
Recovery from buccal fat removal usually takes a few days to a week. You may experience some swelling and bruising in your cheeks, but these symptoms should resolve over time. Your doctor may recommend eating soft foods and avoiding strenuous exercise until the healing process is complete.
Results
Results may be noticeable immediately after the swelling subsides, but the final appearance is usually seen within a few months as tissues fully heal. Buccal fat removal can provide permanent results, but it should be noted that the shape of the face can also change due to ageing and weight fluctuations.
Carefully consider whether this procedure is suitable for you, as it permanently alters the overall appearance of the face. Consulting an experienced plastic surgeon will help ensure that you are aware of all the options and limitations that come with this aesthetic procedure.
